Crawling upon my startled hopes--

Yet still they crawl offensive to mine eyes:
I would have some kind friend to tread upon 'em.

In middle of her web, which spreadeth wide:
If aught do touch the utmost thread of it,
She feels it instantly on every side.

In her Web's centre, shakt with every winde,
Moves in an instant, if the buzzing Flie
Stir but a string of her Lawn Canopie.

That ever you did spy."
