Yet once more O ye laurels, and once more, Ye myrtles brown with ivy never sere. I come to pick your berries harsh and crude, And with forced fingers rude Shatter your leaves before the mell'wing year. Bitter constraint, and sad occasion dear Compels me to disturb your season due; For Lycidas is dead; dead ere his prime, Young Lycidas, and hath not left his peer. Who would not sing for Lycidas? He knew Himself to sing, and build the lofty rhyme, He must not float upon his wat'ry bier Unwept, and welter to the parching wind Without the meed of some melodious tear.
