Or make for them, as he was wont to do,

For her that did his heart with love inflame;

For which they promised to dight for him,

Gay chaplets of flowers and garlands trim.

And many a nymph, both of the wood and brook,

Soon as his oaten pipe began to shrill;

Both crystal wells and shady groves forsook,

To hear the charms of his enchanting skill:

And brought him presents; flowers, if it were prime:

Or mellow fruit, if it were harvest time.
