XVIII.

But now such lively colours did embeam

His sparkling forehead; and such shining rays

Kindled his flaming locks, that down did stream

In curls along his neck, where sweetly plays

(Singing his wounds of love in sacred lays)

His dearest Spouse, Spouse of the dearest Lover,

Knitting a thousand knots over and over,

And dying still for love, but they her still recover.
