Such huge extremes, when Nature doth unite,

Wonder from thence results, from thence delight.

The stream is so transparent, pure, and clear,

That had the self-enamor’d youth gaz’d here,

So fatally deceiv’d he had not been,

While he the bottom, not his face, had seen.

But his proud head the airy mountain hides

Among the clouds; his shoulders and his side

A shady mantle clothes; his curled brows

Frown on the gentle stream, which calmly flows;
