Another to the River Anker
Clear Anker, on whose silver-sanded shore
My soul-shrin`d saint, my fair Idea, lies,
O blessed brook, whose milk-white swans adore
The crystal stream refined by her eyes,
Where sweet myrrh-breathing Zephyr in the Spring
Gently distills his nectar-dropping showers,
Where nightingales in Arden sit and sing
Among the dainty dew-impearled flowers;
Say thus, fair Brook, when thou shalt see thy Queen,
"Lo, here thy shepherd spent his wand`ring years,
And in these shades, dear nymph, he oft hath been,
And here to thee he sacrific`d his tears."
Fair Arden, thou my Tempe art alone,
And thou, sweet Anker, art my Helicon.
