volume
_Traumgekront_

So passed another day, and so the third:
Then did I try, in vain, the crowd's resort,
In deep despair by frightful wishes stirr'd,
Near the sea-side I reached a ruined fort:
There, pains which nature could no more support,
With blindness linked, did on my vitals fall;
Dizzy my brain, with
interruption
short
Of hideous sense; I sunk, nor step could crawl,
And thence was borne away to neighbouring hospital.

And longer had she sung:--but with a frown Revenge

was quite intelligible and highly moral, he would begin to seriously
question whether in its creation he had really been himself at all, and

That Lycius could not love in half a fright,
So threw the goddess off, and won his heart

With no more awe than what her beauty gave,
That, while it smote, still guaranteed to save.
