Round her as she lay;

Bowed his mane of gold,

Beating out word by word:
"Take love when love is given,

A sure escape from sorrow

Only yourself can lead you
Up the hard road to heaven

The board's with cups and spoons, alternate, crowned,

Or crystal, that through morning radiance shone,
Now flowing agate, deep and sombre-veined,
Then like a crimson
sparkling
precious stone.

Her port is all divine; her radiant smile,
And e'en her scorn, the captive heart beguile;
Her accents breathe of heaven; her auburn hair
(Whether it wanton with the sportive air,
Or bound in shining wreaths adorns her face,)
Secures her conquests with resistless grace;
Her eyes, that sparkle with
celestial
fire,
Have render'd me the slave of fond desire.
