'Here was thy father's bed, here in my breast;

Thou art the next of blood, and 'tis thy right.
Lo, in this hollow cradle take thy rest;

My throbbing heart shall rock thee day and night;
There shall not be one minute in an hour

Wherein I will not kiss my sweet love's flower.'
Thus weary of the world, away she hies,

And yokes her silver doves, by whose swift aid
Their mistress, mounted, through the empty skies

In her light chariot quickly is conveyed,
Holding their course to Paphos, where their queen

Means to immure herself and not be seen.
-THE END-
