FRAGMENT XVII. CONCETTE.

[_]

(IMITATED FROM THE ITALIAN.)

Go, balmy zephyr, softly breathe
To her for whom these buds I wreath;
Yes, breathe the echo of my sigh
To her whose soul-seducing eye
Has look'd, I fear, my soul away:
But, zephyr, dare not to betray
That 'tis to her I lay my doom;
Tell her I die—but not for whom!
