A blushing womanly discovering grace.


When I am gone dream me some happiness,

Nor let thy looks our long-hid love confess;

Nor praise nor dispraise me, nor bless nor curse

Openly love's force; nor in bed fright thy nurse

With midnight's startings, crying out, Oh! oh!

Nurse! oh, my love is slain! I saw him go

O'er the white Alps alone; I saw him, I,

Assailed, taken, fight, stabbed, bleed, fall, and die.
