DESCRIPTION OF THE ELFIN QUEEN by MARGARET LUCAS CAVENDISH

First Line: SHE ON A DEWY LEAF DOTH BATHE
Last Line: MADE OF THE PURE LIGHT FROM THE SUN.
Subject(s): FAIRIES;

She on a dewy leaf doth bathe,
And as she sits the leaf doth wave;
There, like a new fall'n flake of snow
Doth her white limbs in beauty show.
Her garments fair her maids put on,
Made of the pure light from the sun.
