“Ah, yet, ere I descend to the grave,
May I a small house and large garden have;

And since love neer will from me flee,
A mistress moderately fair,
And good as guardian angels are,
Only beloved and loving me.”

The brilliant moon and all the milky sky,
And all that famous harmony of leaves,
Had blotted out mans image and his cry.”
