[2700]An undervault the subtil matron paved,

With fire and flame to force a constant sweat,

That, as from flowers hot limbecks water 'still,

So by this stove from him sweat-currents drill.

Then, for the winter season she provided

A melting cloud full fraught with feath'red rain

(Whose curious art the air-borne clouds derided),

Which through some oillet holes might passage gain.

His cabin should have been, like Alps' cold height,

Mantled and strewèd o'er with winter's white.
