- | |
When my sweet foe so haughty oft and high | C |
Moved my brief ire no more my sight can thole | D |
One comfort is vouchsafed me lest I die | C |
Through whose sole strength survives my harass'd soul | D |
Where'er her eyes all light which would deny | C |
To my sad life in scorn or anger roll | D |
Mine with such true humility reply | C |
Soon their meek glances all her rage control | D |
Were it not so methinks I less could brook | E |
To gaze on hers than on Medusa's mien | F |
Which turn'd to marble all who met her look | E |
My friend act thus with thine for closed I ween | F |
All other aid and nothing flight avails | B |
Against the wings on which our master sails | B |
