The Fair Circassian | ||
SCENE I.
AN APARTMENT IN HAMET'S PALACE.OMAR.
A change so sudden—every tumult hush'd—
So wild an hurricane blown o'er already?
'Tis most suspicious, and I yet have doubts.
Perhaps some plan of deep drawn policy—
Perhaps—but hither speeds the younger king:
He comes with all the lover in his step,
And the fond bridegroom beaming from his eye:
(looking out)
O blessed state of unsuspecting youth,
Gay, worthy, ardent, generous, and warm,
'Tis barbarous to destroy thy gilded dreams
And wake thee to the cunning turns of life.
