“Then think I thus: sith such repair,
So long time war of valiant men,
Was all to win a lady fair,
Shall I not learn to suffer then,
And think my life well spent to be,
Serving a worthier wight than she?”

The hills and waters o’er,
When a band of exiles moored their bark
On the wild New England shore.”
