[So may some gentle Muse]

With lucky words favor my destined urn, 20

And as he passes turn,

And bid fair peace be to my sable shroud!

[For we were nursed upon the self-same hill],

Fed the same flock, by fountain, shade, and rill;

Together both, ere the high [lawns] appeared 25

Under the opening eyelids of the Morn,

We drove a-field, and both together heard

What time the gray-fly winds her sultry horn,
