No kind supporting hand I meet,

But Fortitude shall stay my feet;

No borrowed splendors round me shine,

But Virtue's luster all is mine;

A Fame unsullied still I boast,

Obscured, concealed, but never lost—

The same bright orb that led the day

Pours from the West his mellowed ray.

Zaura, farewell! No more I see

Within thy walls, a home for me;
