To the charmed mariner gave

A glimpse of snowy arms and amber tresses,

While on his startled ear

The sea-nymph’s madrigal fell clear;

Then to the far recesses,

Where drowsy Neptune wears the emerald crown,

Serenely floated down,

Leaving the mariner all amort with fear.

In the under-opening wood,

What time the Gods had crowned the full-grown year,
