Dy'd crimson in a maiden's blush,

And lin'd in humming-bees' soft plush.

His hat was all of lady's love,

So passing light, that it would move

If any gnat or humming fly

But beat the air in passing by.

About it went a wreath of pearl,

Dropt from the eyes of some poor girl,

Pinch'd because she had forgot

To leave clean water in the pot.
