Some other means I have which may be used,
Which once of [Melibœus] old I learnt,
[The soothest shepherd] that e’er piped on plains.
There is a gentle Nymph not far from hence,
That with moist curb sways the smooth Severn stream: 825
[Sabrina is her name]: a virgin pure;
[Whilom] she was the daughter of Locrine,
That had the sceptre from his father Brute.
She, guiltless damsel, flying the mad pursuit
Of her enraged stepdame, Guendolen, 830
