Sweet Echo, sweetest Nymph that liv’st unseen Within the airy shell By slow Meander’s margent green, And in the violet embroider’d vale Where the love-lorn Nightingale Nightly to thee her sad Song mourneth well. Canst thou not tell me of a gentle Pair That likest thy Narcissus are? O if thou have Hid them in some flow’ry Cave, Tell me but where! Sweet Queen of Parly, Daughter of the Sphear, So maist thou be translated to the skies, And give resounding grace to all Heav’n’s Harmonies. From ''Comus''
