Of laughter-swimming eyes and rosy lips,

Wherein she doth all other towns eclipse.

Slow rolled proud Laïs’ wheels—while here and there,

On warrior, bard, and sage, who spell-bound stood,

She showered familiar smiles, that flushed the air,

And thrilled each heart in all the multitude;

Her partial glances raised a prouder glow

Than all the wreaths that glory could bestow.
