Hath laid against me a most grievous charge,
And come to you protesting. If he deems

Till the great God enamoured gives
To him who reads, to him who lives,
That rare and fair romantic strain
That whoso hears must hear again.
SINCE YEARS AGO FOR EVERMORE
SINCE years ago for evermore
My cedar ship I drew to shore;
