It seemed as Nature played a sportive part And strove to mock the mimic works of art : By powerful magic breathes the vernal air, And fragrant trees eternal blossoms bear : Eternal fruits on every branch endure, Those swelling from their buds, and these mature: The joyous birds, concealed in every grove, With gentle strife prolong the notes of love. Soft zephyrs breathe on woods and waters round...

Página 50 - As vi'lets mix'd with lilies blend their hue. Her eyes to heaven the dying virgin rais'd ; The heavens and fun with kindly pity gaz'd ; Her clay-cold hand, the pledge of lafting peace, She gave the chief; her lips their mufic ceafe.
