 | The poetical wanderer |  |
O happy woman! godlike Hector's wife
How sweet thy slumbers, how serene thy life!
No jealous fears thy virtuous love controul,
Constant as warlike, is thy Hector's soul;
Had I, in Paris, Hector's virtues found
Like thine, my days had pass'd their fleeting round.
How sweet thy slumbers, how serene thy life!
No jealous fears thy virtuous love controul,
Constant as warlike, is thy Hector's soul;
Had I, in Paris, Hector's virtues found
Like thine, my days had pass'd their fleeting round.
