Awake, awake! unmanned no more

Recall the strength was thine of yore.

Beseems not men like thee to wear

A weak heart yielding to despair.

Like troubles, too, mine eyes have seen,

Lamenting for a long-lost queen;

But, by despair unconquered yet,

My strength of mind I ne'er forget.

Far more shouldst thou of lofty soul

Thy passion and thy tears control,
