The botanic garden, a poem | ||
2.
“Nymphs! on that day Ye shed from lucid eyes,Celestial tears, and breathed ethereal sighs!
43
The wiry rod in Nieva's fatal shade;—
Clouds o'er the Sage with fringed skirts succeed,
Flash follows flash, the warning corks recede;
Near and more near He eye'd with fond amaze
The silver streams, and watch'd the saphire blaze;
Then burst the steel, the dart electric sped,
And the bold Sage lay number'd with the dead!
Nymphs! on that day Ye shed from lucid eyes
Celestial tears, and breathed ethereal sighs!
