DUETTO V.

[BY the blush of the spring's ruddy morn]

HE.
BY the blush of the spring's ruddy morn,
By the fragrance of sweet-breathing May,
By the dew-drop empearl'd on the thorn,
By the chirruping bird on the spray—

HE.
By the king-cup that gilds the green mead,
By the bee that the woodbine now sips,
By the flock—see where tinkling they feed,
By the life-touch from off thy sweet lips—

BOTH.
I swear by the jessamine bow'r,
I swear by the clouds that are blue,
I never will live to that hour,
The hour I am faithless to you.
