Sabrina's Song, from the Masque presented at Ludlow Castle

By the rushy-fringèd bank,
Where grows the willow and the osier dank,
        My sliding chariot stays,
Thick set with agate, and the azurn sheen
Of turkis blue, and emerald green
        That in the channel strays,
Whilst from off the waters fleet
Thus I set my printless feet
O'er the cowslip's velvet head,
    That bends not as I tread,
Gentle swain at thy request
        I am here.

– John Milton (published 1637)
