“O mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O stay and hear, your true love’s coming,
That can sing both high and low.

Journeys end in lovers meeting,
Every wise man’s son doth know.”

“The word by seers or sibyls told,
In groves of oak, or fanes of gold,
Still floats upon the morning wind,
Still whispers to the willing mind.
One accent of the Holy Ghost
The heedless world hath never lost.”
