Ere yet your stay be spent,

And music shall be struck—shall charm and please

You to contented ease.”

Then dropt a quiet o’er the enhancéd glee,

As when a Boreal night dusks o’er a frigid sea.

Next grew a hymning sonnet, worded well,

Up ’mid the oaken boles, whose listening green

Tented the Dryad scene,

Wavering across the silence with a spell

Worthy to sink the yesty broil of waves,
