I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows, Quite overcanopied with luscious wood-bine, With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine: There sleeps Titania sometime of the night, Lulled in these flowers with dances and delight; And there the snake throws her enamell'd skin Weed wide enough to wrap a fairy in.

"I Know a Bank"
