To tears unending—yea, I love her true!

SONG OF A THEOCRITEAN GOATHERD.

Here I lie, my bowels sore,

Hosts of bugs advancing,

Yonder lights and romp and roar!

What's that sound? They're dancing!

At this instant, so she prated,

Stealthily she'd meet me:

Like a faithful dog I've waited,

Not a sign to greet me!
