A mouth, but dumbe, he hath; blinde eyes, deafe eares,

And to his shoulders dangle subtile haires;

A young _Colossus_ there hee stands upright,

And as that ground by him were conquered

A leafie garland weares he on his head 155

Enchas'd with little fruits, so red and bright

That for them you would call your Loves lips white;

So, of a lone unhaunted place possest,

Did this soules second Inne, built by the guest,

This living buried man, this quiet mandrake, rest. 160
