  1. Thou willing:—with such Deity,
  2. Whoe'er shall dare compare?
  3. An lack a land thy sacring rite,
  4. The perfect rule we ne'er shall see
  5. Reach Earth's far bourne; yet such we sight,
  6. Thou willing:—with such Deity
  7. Whoe'er shall dare compare?
  8. Your folds ye gateways wide-ope swing!
  9. The maiden comes. Seest not the sheen
  10. Of links their splendent tresses fling?
  11. Let shame retard the modest mien.
  12. ---
  13. ---
  14. Who more she hears us weeps the more,
  15. That needs she must advance.
  16. Cease raining tear-drops! not for thee,
  17. Aurunculeia, risk we deem,
  18. That fairer femininety
  19. Clear day outdawned from Ocean stream
  20. Shall ever more behold.
