First Line: RARE TEMPLES THOU HAST SEEN, I KNOW
Last Line: THEN THIS, THE FAIRIES ONCE, NOW THINE.

Rare Temples thou hast seen, I know,
And rich for in and outward show:
Survey this chappell, built, alone,
Without or Lime, or Wood, or Stone:
Then say, if one th'ast seene more fine
Then this, the Fairies once, now Thine.
