| And in his hand, a wreath of Heliochrise | |
| He brought, to beautify those tresses, | |
| Whose train, whose softness, and whose gloss more bright, | |
| APOLLO’s locks did overprize. | 5 |
| Thus, with this garland, whiles her brows he blesses | |
| The golden shadow, with his tincture, | |
| Coloured her locks, I gilded with the cincture. | | | | |
