Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCCDCThe candor of the gods is in thy gaze | A |
The strength of Diane in thy virgin hand | B |
Commanding as the goddess might command | B |
And lead her lovers into higher ways | A |
Aye the gods walk among us in these days | A |
Had we the docile soul to understand | B |
And me they visit in this joyless land | B |
To cheer mine exile and receive my praise | A |

For once methinks before the angels fell | C |
Thou too did follow the celestial seven | D |
Threading in file the meads of asphodel | C |
And when thou comes here lady where I dwell | C |
The place is flooded with the light of heaven | D |
And a lost music I remember well | C |
