  1. An lack a land thy sacring rite,
  2. The perfect rule we ne'er shall see
  3. Reach Earth's far bourne; yet such we sight,
  4. Thou willing:—with such Deity
  5. Whoe'er shall dare compare?
  6. Your folds ye gateways wide-ope swing!
  7. The maiden comes. Seest not the sheen
  8. Of links their splendent tresses fling?
  9. Let shame retard the modest mien.
  10. ---

  12. Who more she hears us weeps the more,
  13. That needs she must advance.
