[Enchanting maid! whose voice and air]
Enchanting maid! whose voice and airAlike the attentive soul ensnare,
And, with commutual charm, supply
The perfect types of harmony!
In whom enamour'd Fate bestows
What eastern poets fabled long,
The nightingale and blushing rose
(Love's fragrant bloom, and magic song!)
In bonds of sweet affection join'd;
While beaming from the radiant eye
Speaks forth the feeling, polish'd mind
That wakes the finer extacy,
And shews, with Wisdom's laurel wove,
Each bloom of Taste, Refinement, Love!
