And gay pursuivant of a brilliant train.
And now, bright Dahlia, heartless one, appear!
Thy time has come to join the festival:
Come, Peru’s daughter, belle of night! dost fear
To wear in glorious day thy coronal?
And thou, pale exile from the holy land,
Imperial Lily! come and join the band!
See, o’er the lattice creeps the Eglantine,
And there the Jasmine clambers up the wall
To twine her wreaths with Flora’s blushing queen,
