He, smiling, said, 'Let not my strange arraying,

Kind youth, beget amazement or dismaying.

I'll show thee where in marshalled order stray

Whole troops of laureates ensphered with bay';

Then spread his wingèd sails, and caught my hair,

30Without a sense of motion through the air

Conducting me, through where the salamander

(If faith b' historical) does breath and wander.

Then through those glorious orbs, enriched with gems,

The palaces of seven diadems.
