These tender scenes were followed by a kiss,

The prelude sweet of soft enchanting bliss;

But whether taken, or by choice bestowed,

Alike 'twas clear, their heaving bosoms glowed.

THOSE vows now o'er, said Hispal with a sigh,

In this adventure, if we're doomed to die,

Indiff'rent surely 'tis, the prey to be

Of birds of air, or fishes of the sea;

My reason tells me ev'ry grave's the same,

Return we must, at last, from whence we came,
