 * "Who, who from Dian's feast would be away?

For all the golden bowers of the day Are empty left? Who, who away would be From Cynthia's wedding and festivity? Not Hesperus: lo! upon his silver wings He leans away for highest heaven and sings, Snapping his lucid fingers merrily!— Ah, Zephyrus! art here, and Flora too? Ye tender bibbers of the rain and dew, Young playmates of the rose and daffodil, Be careful, ere ye enter in, to fill
 * Your baskets high

With fennel green, and balm, and golden pines. Savory, latter-mint, and columbines, Cool parsley, basil sweet, and sunny thyme; Yea, every flower and leaf of every clime, All gather'd in the dewy morning: hie
 * Away! fly, fly!—

Crystalline brother of the belt of heaven, Aquarius! to whom king Jove has given Two liquid pulse streams 'stead of feather'd wings, Two fanlike fountains,—thine illuminings
 * For Dian play:

Dissolve the frozen purity of air; Let thy white shoulders silvery and bare Show cold through watery pinions; make more bright The Star-Queen's crescent on her marriage night:
 * Haste, haste away!

Castor has tamed the planet Lion, see! And of the Bear has Pollux mastery: A third is in the race! who is the third, Speeding away swift as the eagle bird?
