And sweetest songs they merrily sung
To greet their Monarch aud Mistress young;
And round them joyfully danc'd along,
In concord with their heavenly song:—
“Oh! welcome, fair Maiden of distant earth,
“To beautiful scenes of passion and mirth:
“Oh! welcome, dear Maiden—approach and mark
“The land thou hast reach'd in thy glittering bark.”
