  3. Who more she hears us weeps the more,
  4. That needs she must advance.
  5. Cease raining tear-drops! not for thee,

  7. That fairer femininety
  8. Clear day outdawned from Ocean stream
  9. Shall ever more behold.

  11. Of rich man's garden passing gay
  12. Upstands the hyacinthine flower.
  13. But thou delayest, wanes the day:
  14. “Prithee, come forth new Bride.”
  15. Prithee, come forth new Bride! methinks,
  16. Drawing in sight, the talk we hold
  17. Thou haply hearest. See the Links!
  18. How shake their locks begilt with gold:
  19. Prithee, new Bride come forth.
