Once, and but once, his features wrath express’d:

He saw her shudder, as it drain’d her breast;

And, while reproach half mingled with his moan,

Snatch’d it from her’s, and press’d it to his own.

Three months had pass’d; still lived the monster-brat:

Its sire had sought the wood; alone she sat:

She sheds no tears—no tears are left to shed;

Unmoisten’d burn her eyes—her heart seems dead—

Her form seems marble. Lo! from far the sound

Of music steals, and fills the caves around.
