X.
All sounds were hush'd within the halls;Through the high towers no echo fell,
Save where the weary centinel
Pac'd slowly round the palace walls.
And lull'd in slumber's soft repose
Brave knights and lovely ladies lay;
17
Could chase away pale Envy's woes,
And young Ambition's throb delay.
One only passion spurn'd his power;
'Twas happy Love alone!
One maiden counted ev'ry hour,
One knight watch'd that fair maiden's bower,
And soon to Beauty's loveliest flower,
He woke Love's sweetest tone.
