Imogen! fair Fidele! meekly blending,

In patient grief, “a smiling with a sigh;”[382]

And thou, Cordelia! faithful daughter, tending

That sire, an outcast to the bitter sky;

Thou of the soft low voice!—thou art not gone!

Still breathes for me its faint and flute-like tone.

And come to me!—sing me thy willow-strain,

Sweet Desdemona! with the sad surprise

In thy beseeching glance, where still, though vain,

Undimm’d, unquenchable affection lies;
