But no one coming, Eurilas, once more,

Resumed his place, and 'gan again to snore.

AT length, before the sun his head had reared;

The door was opened, and a torch appeared.

Misfortune then he fancied full in sight;

More pleased he'd been to rise without a light,

And clearly thought 'twas over with him now;

The flame approached;—the drops ran o'er his brow;

With terror he for pardon humbly prayed:—

You have it, cried a fair: be not dismayed;
