								So purely white they were,  
 That even the gentle stream, the which them bare,  
 Seemed foul to them, and bade his billows spare  
 To wet their silken feathers, lest they might  
 Soil their fair plumes with water not so fair  
 And mar their beauties bright,  
 That shone as Heaven's light,  
 Against their bridal day, which was not long:  
 Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song.
