DIstill not poyson in mine eares
Aereall Sirens! nor unty
These sable fetters, yonder sphears
Dance to a silent Harmony.

Could I but follow where you lead
Dis-robed of Earth and plum'd by Air,
Then I my Tenuous self might spread,
As quick as Fancie every-where.

But Ile make sallies now and then,
Thus can my unconfined eye
Take journey and return again.
Yet on her Christall couch still lie.
