The Olive Branch
The Hesperides & Noble Numbers — Hesperides
Sadly I walk'd within the field,To see what comfort it would yield;And as I went my private wayAn olive branch before me lay,And seeing it I made a stay,
And took it up and view'd it; thenKissing the omen, said Amen;Be, be it so, and let this beA divination unto me;That in short time my woes shall ceaseAnd Love shall crown my end with peace.
