And yet anon repairs his drooping head,

And tricks his beams, and [with new-spangled ore] 170

Flames in the forehead of the morning sky:

So Lycidas sunk low, but mounted high,

Through the dear might of [Him that walked the waves],

Where, other groves and other streams along,

[With nectar pure his oozy locks he laves], 175

And hears [the unexpressive nuptial song],

In the blest kingdoms meek of joy and love.

There entertain him all the Saints above,
