SAINT IVES

Viscomte, your health. Confusion to the foe.

The noble lord your uncle—bless his name!

And may your wicked captors die in shame.

I kiss your hand; I kiss your forehead—so!

The castle cliff is steep, but down below

Both fortune and the lady Flora wait.

Oh, you will meet them, I anticipate,

Your hand upon your heart, and bowing low.
