Narrative poems on the Female Character | ||
XXIX.
It rested on that maiden fair,With sunny smile and nut-brown hair,
Whose mantle caught its azure dye
From the soft lustre of her eye;
Whose veil seem'd, like a fleecy cloud,
The moon's chaste beauty to enshroud;
Whose very diamonds artless shone
Like dew-drops in the morning sun:
39
Caught and return'd her glance of joy:
'Twas Ferdinand, the youthful heir
Of Murcia and the royal pair;
Was never child so brave, so fair,
Was none so well belov'd!
Isabel's joy, Alfonso's care,
Their fond caress he wont to share,
But still to Blanch he rov'd.
