By those soft tods of wool With which the air is full; By all those tinctures there, That paint the hemisphere; By dews and drizzling rain That swell the golden grain; By all those sweets that be I' th' flowery nunnery; By silent nights, and the Three forms of Hecate; By all aspects that bless The sober sorceress, While juice she strains, and pith To make her philters with; By time that hastens on Things to perfection; And by yourself, the best Conjurement of the rest: O my Electra! be In love with none, but me. _Tods of wool_, literally, tod of wool=twenty-eight pounds, here used of the fleecy clouds. _Tinctures_, colours. _Three forms of Hecate_, the _Diva triformis_ of Hor. Od. iii. 22. Luna in heaven, Diana on earth, Persephone in the world below. _Aspects_, _i.e._, of the planets. 768. COURAGE COOLED. I cannot love as I have lov'd before; For I'm grown old and, with mine age, grown poor. _Love must be fed by wealth_: this blood of mine Must needs wax cold, if wanting bread and wine. 769. THE SPELL. Holy water come and bring; Cast in salt, for seasoning: Set the brush for sprinkling: Sacred spittle bring ye hither; Meal and it now mix together, And a little oil to either. Give the tapers here their light, Ring the saints'-bell, to affright Far from hence the evil sprite. 770. HIS WISH TO PRIVACY. Give me a cell To dwell, Where no foot hath A path: There will I spend And end My wearied years In tears. 771. A GOOD HUSBAND. A Master of a house, as I have read, Must be the first man up, and last in bed. With the sun rising he must walk his grounds; See this, view that, and all the other bounds: Shut every gate; mend every hedge that's torn, Either with old, or plant therein new thorn; Tread o'er his glebe, but with such care, that where He sets his foot, he leaves rich compost there. 772. A HYMN TO BACCHUS.
