58 The black clad Cricket bear a second part.

And for Jack's honesty she was loud in praise;
And she took Jack into her service, and paid him liberally,

...impartially infoldest all, not only continents, seas, 
Thou that to grapes and weeds and little wild flowers givest so liberally,
Shed, shed thyself on mine and me, with but a fleeting ray out of thy million millions,
