...den mantle her attyre;
And, being crown¨¨d with a girland greene,
Seeme lyke some mayden Queene.
Her modest eyes, abash¨¨d to behold
So many gazers as on her do stare, 160
Upon the lowly ground affix¨¨d are;
Ne dare lift up her countenance too bold,
But blush to heare her prayses sung so loud,

And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;

And so, with his sword-hilt gallantly jutting,
And dexter-hand on his haunch abutting,
Went the little man, Sir Ausbruch, strutting!

Second Girl
I shall run before him,
Arching cloths besprinkled with colors
As small as fish-eggs.
The threads
Will abash him.
Third Girl

I shall run before him,
With a curious puffing.
He will bend his ear then.
I shall whisper
Heavenly labials in a world of gutturals.
It will undo him....Read more of this...

...he horses with curling fish-tails, that prance and paddle and pash
Round the lady atop in her conch—fifty gazers do not abash,
Though all that she wears is some weeds round her waist in a sort of sash!

All the year long at the villa, nothing to see though you linger,
Except yon cypress that points like Death's lean lifted forefinger.
Some think fireflies pretty, when they mix in the corn and mingle,
Or thrid the stinking hemp till the stalks of it seem a-tingle.
