First one and then another silver spout, 555

As one or other takes the fit of glee,

Fountains and spouts, yet somewhat in the guise

Of play-thing fire-works, that on festal nights

Sparkle about the feet of wanton boys.

—How vast the compass of this theatre, 560

Yet nothing to be seen but lovely pomp

And silent majesty; the birch-tree woods

Are hung with thousand thousand diamond drops

Of melted hoar-frost, every tiny knot
