Sometimes devoted unto love,
Tinselled with twilight, he and they,
Led by the shine of snails, a way
Beat with their num'rous feet, which, by
Many a neat perplexity,
Many a turn and many a cross-
Track they redeem a bank of moss,
Spongy and swelling, and far more
Soft than the finest Lemster ore,
Mildly

Which break from the enjewell'd tyres
Of curious brides; or like those mites

With prompt embrace all beauty to enfold,
And having rights in all that we behold.

Yea, it is burning in me like a sin,
That when my love was absent, thy desire

At peace, or will be soon:

Nor does Terror walk at noon,

Has neither Sun nor Moon.

They have their spurs, are fastened on their feet,
And, light and strong, their hauberks

Upon their heads they've laced their helmets clear,
And girt on swords, with pure gold hilted each;
And from their necks hang down their quartered shields;
In their right hands they grasp their trenchant spears.
