Pale Envy rankles deep within my breast,

And baneful venom sheds. Grim Horror too

Attends my thoughts, and fills my gloomy mind

With tales of gliding sprites, in milk-white shrouds

To swift imagination’s eye presents

A group of tiny elves, in circling dance,

Or luscious feast employ’d; such elves as danc’d

When Oberon did fair Titania wed;
