The Book of Odes, by L. Cranmer-Byng, [1908], at sacred-texts.com
p. 45
ON THE BANKS OF HO
The little boat of cypress rocks,
Rocks in the midst of Ho;
He was my lord, whose long dark locks
Divided in their downward flow.
Till death betide,
His bride,
I'll wed no other.
O Heaven! O mother!
Will you not understand your child?
The little boat of cypress rocks
There by the side of Ho;
He was my only one, whose locks
Divided in their downward flow.
Till death betide,
His bride,
I'll wed no other.
O Heaven! O mother!
Far from me be the thing defiled!
Will you not understand your child?
