Two pretty rills do meet and meeting make	A
Within one valley a large silver lake	A
About whose banks the fertile mountains stood	B
In ages pass d bravely crowned with wood	B
Which lending cold sweet shadows gave it grace	C
To be accounted Cynthia's bathing place	C
And from her father Neptune's brackish court	D
Fair Thetis thither often would resort	D
Attended by the fishes of the sea	E
Which in those sweeter waters came to plea	E
There would the daughter of the Sea God dive	F
And thither came the Land Nymphs every eve	G
To wait upon her bringing for her brows	H
Rich garlands of sweet flowers and beechy boughs	H
For pleasant was that pool and near it then	I
Was neither rotten marsh nor boggy fen	I
It was nor overgrown with boisterous sedge	J
Nor grew there rudely then along the edge	J
A bending willow nor a prickly bush	K
Nor broad leaved flag nor reed nor knotty rush	L
But here well ordered was a grove with bowers	M
There grassy plots set round about with flowers	M
Here you might through the water see the land	N
Appear strowed o'er with white or yellow sand	N
Yon deeper was it and the wind by whiffs	M
Would make it rise and wash the little cliffs	M
On which oft pluming sat unfrighted than	O
The gaggling wild goose and the snow white swan	P
With all those flocks of fowls which to this day	Q
Upon those quiet waters breed and play	Q
For though those excellences wanting be	E
Which once it had it is the same that we	E
By transposition name the Ford of Arle	Q
And out of which along a chalky marle	Q
That river trills whose waters wash the fort	D
In which brave Arthur kept his royal court	D
North east not far from this great pool there lies	M
A tract of beechy mountains that arise	M
With leisurely ascending to such height	R
As from their tops the warlike Isle of Wight	R
You in the ocean's bosom may espy	E
Though near two furlongs thence it lie	Q
The pleasant way as up those hills you climb	S
Is strew d o'er with marjoram and thyme	S
Which grows unset The hedgerows do not want	T
The cowslip violet primrose nor a plant	U
That freshly scents as birch both green and tall	Q
Low sallows on whose blooming bees do fall	Q
Fair woodbines which about the hedges twine	V
Smooth privet and the sharp sweet eglantine	V
With many moe whose leaves and blossoms fair	W
The earth adorn and oft perfume the air	W
	-
When you unto the highest do attain	X
An intermixture both of wood and plain	X
You shall behold which though aloft it lie	Q
Hath downs for sheep and fields for husbandry	E
So much at least as little needeth more	Y
If not enough to merchandise their store	Y
	-
In every row hath nature planted there	W
Some banquet for the hungry passenger	Z
For here the hazel nut and filbert grows	M
There bullice and a little farther sloes	M
On this hand standeth a fair weilding tree	E
On that large thickets of blackberries be	E
The shrubby fields are raspice orchards there	W
The new felled woods like strawberry gardens are	A2
And had the King of Rivers blessed those hills	M
With some small number of such pretty rills	M
As flow elsewhere Arcadia had not seen	B2
A sweeter plot of earth than this had been	C2
