    Though now she’s turned into a reed;
    From that dear reed Pan’s pipe does come,
    A pipe that strikes Apollo dumb;
    Nor flute, nor lute, nor gittern can
    So chant it, as the pipe of Pan;”

    Its gold clasped
    With half-opened laurel-shoots
    When the god strikes her
    With his breath.”
