The prodigal of an immortal day

For ever spending, and yet never spent.

His skin is brilliant with the nimble flood

Of ichor, that comes dancing from his heart,

Lively as fire, and redder than the blood,

And maketh in his eyes small flashes dart,

And curleth his hair golden, and distilleth

Honey on his tongue, and all his body filleth

With wanton lightsomeness in every part.
