In time long past, when in Diana's chase
A bramble bush prick'd Venus in the foot,
Old AEsculapius help'd her heavy case
Before the hurt had taken any root:
Wherehence although his beard were crisping hard
She yielded him a kiss for his reward.]]> Fair St. George]]> January 20, 2017, by LM]]> The North American Indian]]> Norwalk]]> National Portrait Gallery, London, 658.]]> Artists at Home, photographed by J.P.

There, on the pendent boughs her coronet weeds Clambering to hang, an envious sliver broke; When down her weedy trophies and herself Fell in the weeping brook. Her clothes spread wide, And, mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up; Which time she chanted snatches of old tunes, As one incapable of her own distress, Or like a creature native and indued Unto that element; but long it could not be Till that her garments, heavy with their drink, Pull'd the poor wretch from her melodious lay To muddy death.]]> Yale Center for British Art.]]> The Study.
