All, but the careful master of the swine:
Forth hasted he to tend his bristly care;
Well arm'd, and fenced against nocturnal air:
His weighty falchion o'er his

tied:
His shaggy cloak a mountain goat supplied:
With his broad spear the dread of dogs and men,
He seeks his lodging in the rocky den.

In the mid-region, and all began to take
The lowest abodes; and ever the more they got
One with another intertangled, the more

That place would prove a
paradise
when thou and Love were near.
