Hush! hush! his spirit's pinions are rustling in my ears:

He comes upon the tempest to calm my jealous fears;

He comes upon the tempest in answer to my call.

Wife—fame—and even honor—for me he leaves them all;

And royally I'll welcome my lover to my side.

I have won him—I have won him from Cæsar and his bride.

Mary Bayard Clarke.
