The sister shells that hither, thither flit,

Strew the long stream like dropping maple-seeds.

A comrade on the marge now lags, now leads,

Who with short calls his pace doth intermit:

An angry Pan, afoot; but if he sit,

Auspicious Pan among the river reeds.

West of the glowing hay-ricks, (tawny-black,

Where waters by their warm escarpments run),

Two lovers, slowly crossed from Kennington,

Print in the early dew a married track,
