“She shall get a duke, my dear,
As duck do get a drake;
And she shall have a young prince,
For her own fair sake.”

“Nothing is so beautiful as spring
When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;
Thrushs eggs look little low heavens, and thrush
Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring
The ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing.”
