It faded on the crowing of the cock.
Some say that ever'gainst that season comes
Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated,
The bird of dawning singeth all night long:
And then, they say, no spirit dares stir...

Celia

473

And wheresoe'er we went, like Juno's swans,
Still we went coupled and inseparable.
