And desolate plain, but wake the tender herb

To cheer the bosom of the wilderness.

Tell me the father of the drops of dew,

The curdling ice, and hoary frost that seal

The waters like a stone, and change the deep

To adamant.

Bind if thou canst, the breath

And balmy influence of the Pleiades.

Bring forth Mazzaroth in his time, or guide

Arcturus, with his sons.
