Take spade and hoe thyself;—dig on—

Great shalt thou be through peasant toil—

A herd of golden calves anon

Themselves shall tear from out the soil;

Then straight, with rapture newly born,

Thyself thou canst, thy sweet-heart wilt adorn.

A sparkling gem, lustrous, of varied dye,

Beauty exalts as well as majesty.
