  1. The bane to cattle, to the meadows worse,
  2. For something all, I for my sufferings curse.
  3. To such unworthy wretch, how am I sham'd,
  4. That I the gen'rous am'rous river nam'd!
  5. When Nile and Achelous I display'd,
  6. And Thame and Ouse, what worm was in my head
  7. For thy reward, discourteous river, I
  8. Wish, be the summers hot, the winters dry.
  1. Was she not heavenly fair, and rich attir'd ?
