- Go bow thy head in gentle spite,
Thou lily white,
For she who spies thee waving here,
With thee in beauty can compare
As day with night.- To a Lily, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
- Thou in thy lake dost see
Thyself: so she
Beholds her image in her eyes
Reflected. Thus did Venus rise
From out the sea.- To a Lily, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
