sets the key dangerously high; but it is kept by the magnificent address to the cuckoo, "Too quick despairer, wherefore wilt thou go?" and the flower-piece that follows; by that other single masterpiece, "The coronals of that forgotten time;" by the more solemn splendour of the stanza beginning "And long the way appears which seemed so short;"
The brook, restrained at the ultimate boundary of the grounds by a natural dam-dike or ledge of rocks, seemed, even in its present swollen state, scarcely to glide along: and the pale willow-trees, dropping their long branches into the stream, gathered around them little coronals of the foam that floated down from the more rapid stream above.
The first stanza, above given in the original Italian, is translated thus: "Bacchus! we must all follow thee! Bacchus! Bacchus! Ohe! Ohe! With ivy coronals, bunch and berry, Crown we our heads to worship thee! Thou hast bidden us to make merry Day and night with jollity! Drink then! Bacchus is here! Drink free, And hand ye the drinking cup to me! Bacchus! Bacchus! we must all follow thee! Bacchus!
Past the low but steep bluff of sand rising sheer out of the water, drilled with martins' holes and topped by a sapling oak in the midst of a great furze bush: yellow bloom of the furze, tall brake fern nestling under the young branches, woodbine climbing up and bearing sweet coronals of flower.
O fair, O gracious damsel, even now art thou a wedded wife; but we will go forth right early to the course we ran, and to the grassy meadows, to gather sweet-breathing coronals of flowers, thinking often upon thee, Helen, even as youngling lambs that miss the teats of the mother-ewe.

And one mechanic, being Wingfield the feather dresser, who saw the revellers when they had our fellow citizen within their hands, remarked that they wore the cinctures and coronals of painted feathers which he himself had made by the order of the Prince's master of horse.
The lowest race of savages in Southern Africa the Bushmen go about with festoons of entrails wound around their loins. After a successful hunt with the pit or poisoned arrows they remove the entrails of the slain animal and wear them like coronals for present ornament and future regalement. These creatures are nevertheless artists.
