My little body,
kerchiefed
fast,
I bore it on through the forest, on;
And when I felt it was tired at last,
I scooped a hole beneath the moon:
Through the forest-tops the angels far,
With a white sharp finger from every star,
Did point and mock at what was done.

First to the lively pipe his hand addrest:
But soon he saw the brisk awakening viol
Whose sweet entrancing voice he loved the best:
They would have thought who heard the strain
They saw, in Tempe's vale, her native maids
Amidst the festal-sounding shades
To some unwearied minstrel dancing;
While, as his flying fingers kiss'd the stings,
Love framed with Mirth a gay
fantastic
round:
Loose were her tresses seen, her zone unbound;
And he, amidst his frolic play,
As if he would the charming air repay,
Shook thousand odours from his dewy wings.

My unprovided body, lanch'd mine arm;

Behind his backe unweeting, where he stood,
Of auncient time there was a springing well, 255
From which fast

forth a silver flood,
Full of great vertues, and for med'cine good.

And be these Iugling Fiends no more beleeu'd,

That keepe the word of promise to our eare,
And breake it to our hope.
