And investing a common post, or a pump,

A currant-bush, or a gooseberry clump,

With a halo of dreamlike splendor.

CCLVIII.

A sphere such as shone from Italian skies,

In Juliet's dear, dark, liquid eyes,

Tipping trees with its argent braveries—

And to couples not favor'd with Fortune's boons

One of the most delightful of moons,

For it brightens their pewter platters and spoons
