My breast with tender pity swelled:

I saw thee from thy home expelled,

Reft of all princely state, forlorn,

A hapless wanderer travel-worn,

Firm in thy purpose to fulfil

Thy duty and thy father's will.

But boundless is my rapture now:

Triumphant, girt with friends, art thou.

Where'er thy wandering steps have been,

Thy joy and woe mine eyes have seen.
