Such as in hilly Ida's watery plains,

The cedar tall, spoiled of his bark, retains.

Add[212] they were apt to curl a hundred ways,

Much can they prayse the trees so straight and hy,

The sayling Pine,[*] the Cedar proud and tall,

The vine-prop Elme, the Poplar never dry,[*] 70

Waving aloft with triple point to skie,

Which, like incense of precious cedar tree,

With balmie odours fil’d th’ayre farre and nie.

They have made for Leonora this low dwelling in the ground,

And with cedar they have woven the four walls round.

Like a little dryad hiding she’ll be wrapped all in green,

Most mournfully away in an old chest

Of hers, and put some chopped-up cedar boughs

In with them, and tore down the slaughter-house.

Let temple burn, or flax; an equal light

Leaps in the flame from cedar-plank or weed:

And love is fire. And when I say at need

The golden robin moves. The purple finch,

That on wild cherry and red cedar feeds,

A winter bird, comes with its plaintive whistle,
