Upon the wharves of sorrow, and heard ring
The bell that calls us on; the sweet far thing.

Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows
Quite overcanopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with elgantine.

Than that which withering on the virgin thorn
Grows, lives, and dies in single blessedness.
