Goes striding in rattling armor....

The Nymph, at her billow-roofed dormer

Of foam; and the Sylvan—green-housed—at her window of leaves appears;

—As a listening woman, who hears

The approach of her lover, who comes to her arms in the night;

And, loosening the loops of her locks,

With eyes full of love and delight,

From the couch of her rest in ardor and haste arises.—

The Nymph, as if born of the tempest, like fire surprises

The riotous bands of the rocks,
