What a wonderful bird the frog are!
When he stands he sit almost;
When he hop he fly almost.

The maidens came

Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;

As fresh as any of them all,
Her rament for the most part greene,
Her stature good and meetely tall.

Reposes o'er the wave!
Like Virtue, life's drear warfare done,
