Sleep’st by the fable of Bellerus old, 160

Where the great Vision of the guarded Mount

Looks towards Namancos and Bayona’s hold.

Look homeward, Angel, now, and melt with ruth:

And, O ye dolphins, waft the hapless youth.

Weep no more, woful shepherds, weep no more; 165

For Lycidas, your sorrow, is not dead,

Sunk though he be beneath the watery floor;

So sinks the day-star in the ocean-bed,

And yet anon repairs his drooping head,
