III.

The Trees along the Coast,

Stretch forth to Heaven their blasted Arms,

As if they plaind the North-winds harms,

And Youthful Verdure lost.

There stands a Grove of Fatal Ewe,

Where Sun nere pierc't, nor Wind ere blew.

In it a Brooke doth fleet,

The Noise must guide thy Feet,

For there's no Light,

But all is Night,

And Darkness that you meet.
