   To his rugged old features her presence imparts;
   Right royally robed in that vesture of purple
   Held fast on his shoulders by crystals of quartz.

   And doesn't old Corrig seem proud of his loved one,
   As with maidenly shyness she glances around,

   How quickly his neighbours of time pre historic
   Flash back salutations and wishes sincere.
