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,
