“O come, my bride—the priest awaits—
Come, let us link our deathless fates”—

146

Vaumond! Vaumond! in such abode,
Never did Christian worship God!
There is a whirl within my brain,
Bear me to upper air again!”
“O 'tis a maiden's blushing fears,
Mine antique chapel stern appears:
O let them not thy true love blight,
For so his troth should warrior plight.”
