I will reach ye down and pull thee from the abyss To ransom thee from his serpent's kiss To embrace thee with an angel's wings And look into eyes that are the jewels of kings Matchless words -- sweet as rare yield For you my friend, your virtue I would shield Thine lips are as a fruit, thine breath like spring Thine heart becomes my apprentice as I teach it to sing I would defend thy honor, and go to arms for thee To take thine wounds and cast them into the sea.
