His faith perhaps in some nice tenets might Be wrong; his life, I'm sure, was always in the right

And I myself a Catholic will be, / So far at least, great saint, to pray to thee. / Hail, Bard triumphant! and some care bestow / On us, the Poets militant below.

Though you be absent here, I needs must say / The trees as beauteous are, and flowers as gay, / As ever they were wont to be.

God the first garden made, and the first city Cain.

Hail, old patrician trees, so great and good!

Well then; I now do plainly see, / This busy world and I shall ne'er agree.

Love in her sunny eyes does basking play;/ Love walks the pleasant mazes of her hair;/ Love does on both her lips for ever stray;/ And sows and reaps a thousand kisses there./ In all her outward parts Love's always seen;/ But, oh, he never went within.
