No fears shall drive me from the grove,

If Abla listen to my love.

Ah, Selim! shall the spells of ease

Thy friendship chain, thine ardor freeze!

Wilt thou enchanted thus, decline

Each gen'rous thought, each bold design?

Then far from men some cell prepare;

Or build a mansion in the air—

But yield to us, ambition's tide,

Who fearless on its waves can ride;
