Is precious, choice, or elegant enough
To illustrate her descent; leap, heart, she comes,—
She comes! smile, heaven, and, softest southern wind,
Kiss her cheek gently with perfumèd breath.
She comes; creation’s purity, admired,
Adored, amazing rarity,—she comes!
...
Mount, blood, soul, to my lips, taste Hebe’s cup;
Stand firm on deck, when beauty’s close fight’s up.
Antonio and Mellida.
