Youth, valour, beauty, oft have felt his power.

His crown’d and chosen victims: o’er their lot

Hath fond affection wept—each blighted flower

In turn was loved and mourn’d, and is forgot.

But one who perish’d, left a tale of woe,

Meet for as deep a sigh as pity can bestow.

A voice of music, from Sienna’s walls,

Is floating joyous on the summer air;

And there are banquets in her stately halls,

And graceful revels of the gay and fair,
