Gertrude There is a willow grows aslant a
brook, That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy
stream There with fantastic garlands did she
come Of crow-flowers, nettles, daisies, and long
purples That liberal shepherds give a grosser
name, But our cold maids do dead men's fingers
call them There, on the pendent boughs her
coronet weeds Clambering to hang, an envious
sliver broke When down her weedy trophies and
herself Fell in the weeping brook. Her clothes
spread wide And, mermaid-like, awhile they bore
her up Which time she chanted snatches of old
tunes As one incapable of her own distress, Or
like a creature native and indued Unto that
element but long it could not be Till that her
garments, heavy with their drink, Pull'd the
poor wretch from her melodious lay To muddy
death. (IV, 7)
