But I will make you blush; nay, I will make you redden all over.

Ere this had 'reddend''' with my odious blood.

When the sun-god saw that, and the reddening sky

And the waning moon seeming to thaw

He called the Hours to yoke the horses.

God redden your pale blood!

(..) If the cloud that hangs

Upon the heart and round the mind

Cleared from the north and in that height

The sun appeared and reddened great

Belshazzar's brow, O, ruler, rude

With rubies then, attend me now.

Then listen Thebes, nurse of Semele,

Crown your hair with ivy

Turn your fingers green with bryony

Redden your walls with berries.
