XXXV.
“The page! The page!” Young Inez cried;The monarch sprang from Pedro's side;
The page is at his feet!
The cap from her fair head she tears;
Her snowy bosom wildly bares;
Her tresses flowing round her form,
With sunny lustre brightly warm;
Her blue eyes full of saintly joy,
Her holy smiles, all doubt destroy:
In one alone such charms can meet;
245
The long-thought dead, the exile Blanch!
