    Song from Comus

    Sabrina fair
    Listen where thou art sitting
    Under the glassy, cool, translucent wave,
    In twisted braids of lilies knitting
    The loose train of thy amber - dropping hair;
    Listen for dear honour's sake,
    Goddess of the silver lake,
    Listen and save.

    John Milton (1608 - 74)
