First Line: See on one hand / he drops his bright roots in the water'd sward
Last Line: Mask'd with such violet disallow their green?
Subject(s): Rainbows
See on one hand
He drops his bright roots in the water'd sward,
And rosing part, on part dispenses green;
But with his other foot three miles beyond
He rises from the flocks of villages
That bead the plain; did ever Havering church-tower
Breathe in such ether? or the Quickly elms
Mask'd with such violet disallow their green?
