CXXV.
Cel.Love may be nigh, would Bertha call it here.
Ber.
How, Celmond, dost thou mean?
79
This Celmond means—
No beam, no eyes, nor mortal men appear,
Nor light, an act of love for to bewreen;
Naught in this forest but this torch doth sheen,
The which, put out, doth leave the whole in night.
See! how the branching trees do here entwine,
Making this bower so pleasing to the sight;
This was for love first made, and here it stands,
That herein lovers may enlink in true love's bands.
