‘Be here thy home beloved, adored,

Revive, be blest;—oh! Lailī’s lord.’

At last he breathed, around he gazed,

As from her arms his head he raised—

‘Art thou,’ he faintly said, ‘a friend

Who takes me to her gentle breast—

Dost thou in truth so fondly bend

Thine eyes upon a wretch distressed?

Are these thy unveiled cheeks I see

Can bliss be yet in store for me?
