And contemplate a heart that knew no stam. From hill to hill wide flew the wondrous tale. So bright a gem in such a lowly vale. Came one and knelt adoring at her shrine ; And sooth, a great and seemly suitor he ; Could she his prayer and proffered hand decline i x\h, who can know a maiden's mind, perdie ! Not all unmoved his suppliance she heard, Yet gave no hope, save only hope deferred. 12 XVIII. Ah, gentle fair, why thus my suit disdain, Cried he reproachful, with offended pride ; A nobler n...ame in story must I gain ; What task performed shall win thee for my bride ? Though years attest my studious toil for thee. Yet say what more to do ; what more to be. Then she, all-pitying, raised a tearful eye. And owned the fond emotion of her breast ; But, thoughtful, drew a deep, deploring sigh. And a strange, startling answer thus expressed ; O noble youth, though earth's best gifts are shed Around and on thee, thou, alas, art dead ! XIX. Life's germ from heaven, though on earth the bloom ; And seems the flower with full perfection blest ; But ah, there's poison in its sweet perfume.
