Of wild romance, and cling to thee, and gaze,

Between two kisses, on thy face divine.

XI.

Aye! on thy face, and on the rippling hair

That makes a mantle round thee in the night,

A royal robe, a network of the light,

Which fairies brought for thee, to keep thee fair,

And hide the glories of a beauty rare

As those of sylphs, whereof the poets write.
