<l>I walked along a stream for pureness rare,</l>
<l>Brighter than sunshine, for it did acquaint</l>
<l>The dullest sight with all the glorious prey,</l>
<l>That in the pebble paved channel lay.</l>
<l>No molten crystal, but a richer mine,</l>
<l>Even nature's rarest alchemy ran there,</l>
<l>Diamonds resolved, and substance more divine,</l>
<l>Through whose bright gliding current might appear</l>
<l>A thousand naked nymphs, whose ivory shine,</l>
<l>Enameling the banks, made them more dear</l>
<l>Than ever was that glorious pallas' gate,</l>
<l>Where the day-shining sun in triumph sate.</l>
<l>Upon this brim the eglantine and rose</l>
<l>The tamorisk, olive and the almond tree,</l>
<l>As kind companions in one union grows,</ . . .
