LVI.
Sonnet from Camoens.
Those eyes, within whose meek and modest glance
The choicest fires of love did gladly glow;
That cheek, where with unusual lustre once
The purple rose mix'd with the purest snow;
Those ringlets causing envy in the sun,
Because they made less yellow his bright gold;
That beautiful white hand, my lovely one,
Is all reduced to clay and ashes cold.
That flower torn from its stem in early youth,
That stainless beauty in its budding years,
Lies withering now in the cold hand of death.
Mine eyes may well be wet with bitter tears,
Oh! not for her fled to a brighter day,
But him who must behind in darkness stay.
