Esteem, and admiration high,

And mental, moral sympathy,

Exist they first, nor be they brought

By self-deceiving afterthought,—

What if an halo interfuse

With these again its opal hues,

That all o’erspreading and o’erlying,

Transmuting, mingling, glorifying,

About the beauteous various whole.

With beaming smile do dance and quiver;
