Be ever honoured when they meet our gaze;
And bring, as though 'twere writ upon their leaves,
All that most graceful fairy scene, where Puck,
His elvish ears attentive, learns the tale
Of Oberon's syren-song—and how the shaft
Of armed Cupid dyed this "western flower,"
Which maidens now call "love in idleness."
