As Helen hath: in whose bright eyes all Loves and Graces be.

"O fair, O lovely Maid! a Matron is now made of thee!

But we will, every Spring, unto the leaves in meadow go

To gather garlands sweet; and there, not with a little woe,

Will often think of thee, O Helen! as the suckling lambs

Desire the strouting bags and presence of their tender dams.

We all betimes for thee, a wreath of melitoe will knit;

And on a shady plane for thee will safely fasten it.

And all betimes for thee, under a shady plane below,

Out of a silver box the sweetest ointment will bestow.
