Classic Poem

Keep you these calm and lovely things,
And float them on your clearest water;
For one would not disgrace a King's
Transformed, beloved and buoyant daughter.

And with her goes this sprightly swan,
A bird of more than royal feather,
With alban beauty clothed upon:
O keep them fair and well together!

As fair as was that doubled Bird,
By love of Leda so besotten,
That she was all with wonder stirred,
And the Twin Sportsmen were begotten!
