Bends in some tree its useless dart,

And where the world no certain shot

Can make, or me it toucheth not.

“Bind me, ye woodbines, in your twines,

Curl me about, ye gadding vines,

And, oh, so close your circles lace

That I may never leave this place!

But, lest your fetters prove too weak

Ere I your silken bondage break,

Do you, O brambles, chain me too,
