  1. It neither was for gold, nor yet for fee;
  2. Dejanira, it was all for thee.
  3. E'en Nile so rich, that rolls thro' sev'n wide doors,
  4. And uppish over all his country scours,

  7. I might a hundred goodly rivers name,
  8. But must not pass by thee, immortal Thame;
  9. Ere thou couldst Isis to thy bosom take.
