And there was nought of strange, beside

The flights of mews and pewits pied

By millions crouch’d on the old sea wall.

I sat and spun within the doore,

My thread brake off, I raised myne eyes,

The level sun, like ruddy ore,

Lay sinking in the barren skies;

And dark against day’s golden death

She moved where Lindis wandereth,

My sonne’s faire wife, Elizabeth.
