Cum digno digna	A
SULPICIA	B
	-
	-
Who is the maid with golden hair	C
With eye of fire and foot of air	C
Whose harp around my altar swells	D
The sweetest of a thousand shells	D
'Twas thus the deity who treads	E
The arch of heaven and proudly sheds	E
Day from his eyelids thus he spoke	F
As through my cell his glories broke	F
	-
Aphelia is the Delphic fair	C
With eyes of fire and golden hair	C
Aphelia's are the airy feet	G
And hers the harp divinely sweet	G
For foot so light has never trod	H
The laurelled caverns of the god	H
Nor harp so soft hath ever given	A
A sigh to earth or hymn to heaven	A
	-
Then tell the virgin to unfold	I
In looser pomp her locks of gold	I
And bid those eyes more fondly shine	A
To welcome down a Spouse Divine	A
Since He who lights the path of years	J
Even from the fount of morning's tears	K
To where his setting splendors burn	A
Upon the western sea maid's urn	A
Doth not in all his course behold	I
Such eyes of fire such hair of gold	I
Tell her he comes in blissful pride	L
His lip yet sparkling with the tide	L
That mantles in Olympian bowls	M
The nectar of eternal souls	M
For her for her he quits the skies	N
And to her kiss from nectar flies	N
Oh he would quit his star throned height	O
And leave the world to pine for light	O
Might he but pass the hours of shade	P
Beside his peerless Delphic maid	P
She more than earthly woman blest	Q
He more than god on woman's breast	Q
	-
There is a cave beneath the steep	R
Where living rills of crystal weep	R
O'er herbage of the loveliest hue	S
That ever spring begemmed with dew	S
There oft the greensward's glossy tint	T
Is brightened by the recent print	T
Of many a faun and naiad's feet	G
Scarce touching earth their step so fleet	G
That there by moonlight's ray had trod	H
In light dance o'er the verdant sod	H
There there the god impassioned said	U
Soon as the twilight tinge is fled	U
And the dim orb of lunar souls	M
Along its shadowy pathway rolls	M
There shall we meet and not even He	V
The God who reigns immortally	W
Where Babel's turrets paint their pride	L
Upon the Euphrates' shining tide	L
Not even when to his midnight loves	X
In mystic majesty he moves	Y
Lighted by many an odorous fire	Z
And hymned by all Chaldaea's choir	Z
E'er yet o'er mortal brow let shine	A
Such effluence of Love Divine	A
As shall to night blest maid o'er thine	A
	-
Happy the maid whom heaven allows	A2
To break for heaven her virgin vows	A2
Happy the maid her robe of shame	B2
Is whitened by a heavenly flame	B2
Whose glory with a lingering trace	C2
Shines through and deifies her race	C2
