[Halcyon, by the gods' decree]
Halcyon, by the gods' decree,
For her love and sorrow's wage,
Nesteth in a summer sea,
Though the winter round doth rage.
For her love and sorrow's wage,
Nesteth in a summer sea,
Though the winter round doth rage.
Since the gods love lovers so,
They may jest at fortune's jars;
Ports they have no pilots know,
And in storm behold the stars.
They may jest at fortune's jars;
Ports they have no pilots know,
And in storm behold the stars.
