The charming poem by the same author, beginning—
"My days have been so wond'rous free,"
has the additional fourth stanza,—
"An eager hope within my breast,
Does ev'ry doubt controul,
And charming Nancy stands confest
The fav'rite of my soul."
Can any of your readers supply the name of the "young lady" who translated the story of Phoebus and Daphne?
