Clover, catchfly, adder’s-tongue,

And brier-roses, dwelt among;

All beside was unknown waste, 50

All was picture as he passed.

Wiser far than human seer,

Yellow-breeched philosopher!

Seeing only what is fair,

Sipping only what is sweet, 55

Thou dost mock at fate and care,

Leave the chaff, and take the wheat.
