Employs that power to gain admission to
An isle where certain maidens dwell—when there
His Talisman is stolen and he stands
Revealed before their eyes—the helpless butt
Of all their ridicule, with naught to say
But “Ladies, pray forgive me—I had thought
To enter unobserved—to wander here
And watch your movements—also unobserved;
And when grown weary of this novel sport
To take my leave of you—still unobserved,
