Or catching little nimble shrimps.
Yet she was sweet as flowers in May,
With no professional bouquet.

  Heavier than themselves;
  By the rotted piers where sunk slime feeds
  the lily-pads,

Through the Museum
I stroll, and see
Goblets fashioned in Arcady,
Spears from the Islands, and robes from Tyre—
