There is a Willow grows aslant a brook,
That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream.
There on the pendent boughs her coronet weeds
Clambering to hang, an envious sliver broke.

(7) _Desdemona_ (singing)--

The poor soul sat sighing by a Sycamore tree.
Sing all a green Willow;
Her hand on her bosom, her head on her knee,
Sing Willow, Willow, Willow.
The fresh streams ran by her, and murmur'd her moans;
Sing Willow, Willow, Willow.
Her salt tears fell from her and soften'd the stones,
Sing Willow, Willow, Willow.
Sing all a green Willow must be my garland.

And die in music. [_Singing_] Willow, Willow, Willow.

Nothing but Willow, Willow, Willow.

With baleful Weeds and precious juiced Flowers.

The rank of Osiers by the murmuring stream
Left on your right hand, brings you to the place.

A longing tarriance for Adonis made
Under an Osier growing by a brook.

Those thoughts, to me like Oaks, to thee like Osiers bow'd.
