Come men with lutes and bowls, and find a welcome

Here in my garden,

Find bowers and deep shade and windy grasses,

And by the south wall, wet and forward-jutting,

One early branch fire-tipped with Roman cherries.

O naught is absent,

O naught but you, kind head that far in prison

Sunk on a weary arm, feels no god’s pity

Stroking and sighing where the kingly laurels

Were once so plenty,
