I love (and have some cause to love) tbe carlli : 

 She is my Maker's creature, therefore gooil ; 



She is 111}' mother, for she gave me hirth ; 

 She is my tender nurse; she gives me food. 



I love the air : her dainty sweets refresh 



Jly droojiing sonl, and to new sweets invite me ; 



Her slirill-inoutli'd choir sustain me with their flesh, 

 And with their polyphonian notes di-light me. 



I love the sea : she is my fellow-creature, 

 My careful purveyor; sUc i>rovidcs rau store.
