And the water a hundred feet deep reflecting

Eyebrows painted green are a fine sight in young moonlight,

Just Weight and Measure did to Verse impart;
That of a well-plac'd Word could teach the force,
And shew'd for Poetry a nobler Course:

And easie Words with

Numbers joyn:
His Verses to good method did apply,
And chang'd harsh Discord to Soft Harmony.
