Lest thou discover her, nor know 'tis she;

And she enslave thee evermore, and there

Reward thee with but kingliest beggary:

Make thine the robust red her cheek that stings;

The kiss-sweet odor, thine, her wild breath brings;

Make thine the broad bloom of her crownéd brow;

The hearts of light that ardor her proud eyes;

That melody,—which is herself,—that sings

The poem of her presence and the vow,

That stars exalts and mortals deifies.
