Unkenn'd of her, he raught th' embroider'd bank;
And through the tangled flourets west aside
To where a rosiere by the river dank,
Luxuriant grew in all its blowing pride,
Not far from Psyche; arm'd with scaly hide
He clamb the thorns, which no impression make;
His glitt'ring length, with all its folds untied,
Plays floating ore the bush: then silence brake,
And thus the , astonish'd at his speech, bespake.
