Come unto these yellow sands,
Then take hands:
Curtsied when you have and kissed,
The wild waves whist:
Foot it featly here and there;
And, sweet sprites, the burthen bear.
Hark, hark!
Bow-wow.
The watch dogs bark;
Bow-wow.
Hark, hark!
I hear the strain of strutting chanticleer
Cry, Cock-a-diddle dow.
2. Full fathom five

Available translations (or transliterations, if applicable):
Full fathom five thy father lies,
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Ding-dong.
Hark! now I hear them, - ding-dong bell.

Where the bee sucks there [suck]1 I:
In a cow-slip's [bell]2 I lie;
There I couch when owls do cry.
On a bat's back [I do]3 fly
after [summer]4 merrily,
Merrily, merrily shall I live now
Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.
