With that I saw two swans of goodly hue  
  Come softly swimming down along the Lee:  
  Two fairer birds I yet did never see;  
  The snow which doth the top of Pindus strow  
  Did never whiter show,  
  Nor Jove himself, when he a swan would be  
  For love of Leda, whiter did appear
Line 37. - Prothalamion (1596)
