Vows have I made by fruitless hope inspired	A
Of night my slaughtered Lord have I required	A
Restore him to my sight great Jove restore	B
	-
With faith the Suppliant heavenward lifts her hands	C
Her countenance brightens and her eye expands	C
As she expects the issue in repose	D
	-
What doth she look on whom doth she behold	E
His vital presence his corporeal mould	E
And a God leads him wing egrave d Mercury	F
	-
That calms all fear Such grace hath crowned thy prayer	G
Thy husband walks the paths of upper air	G
Accept the gift behold him face to face	H
	-
Again that consummation she essayed	E
As often as that eager grasp was made	E
And re assume his place before her sight	E
	-
Confirm I pray the vision with thy voice	I
Speak and the floor thou tread'st on will rejoice	I
This precious boon and blest a sad abode	E
	-
His gifts imperfect Spectre though I be	F
But in reward of thy fidelity	F
For fearless virtue bringeth boundless gain	J
	-
That the first Greek who touched the Trojan strand	E
A generous cause a victim did demand	E
A self devoted chief by Hector slain	J
	-
Thy matchless courage I bewail no more	B
By doubt propelled thee to the fatal shore	B
A nobler counsellor than my poor heart	E
	-
Wert kind as resolute and good as brave	K
Thou should'st elude the malice of the grave	K
As when their breath enriched Thessalian air	G
	-
Come blooming Hero place thee by my side	E
To me this day a second time thy bride	E
Upon those roseate lips a Stygian hue	L
	-
Nor should the change be mourned even if the joys	M
And surely as they vanish Earth destroys	M
Calm pleasures there abide majestic pains	N
	-
Rebellious passion for the Gods approve	O
A fervent not ungovernable love	P
When I depart for brief is my sojourn	Q
	-
Wrest from the guardian monster of the tomb	R
Given back to dwell on earth in vernal bloom	R
And son stood a youth 'mid youthful peers	S
	-
Yet further may relent for mightier far	T
Of magic potent over sun and star	T
And though his favourite seat be feeble woman's breast	E
	-
She looked upon him and was calmed and cheered	E
In his deportment shape and mien appeared	E
Brought from a pensive though a happy place	H
	-
In worlds whose course is equable and pure	U
The past unsighed for and the future sure	U
Revived with finer harmony pursued	E
	-
In happier beauty more pellucid streams	V
And fields invested with purpureal gleams	V
Earth knows is all unworthy to survey	W
	-
That privilege by virtue Ill said he	F
Who from ignoble games and revelry	F
While tears were thy best pastime day and night	E
	-
Each hero following his peculiar bent	E
By martial sports or seated in the tent	E
What time the fleet at Aulis lay enchained	E
	-
The oracle upon the silent sea	F
That of a thousand vessels mine should be	F
Mine the first blood that tinged the Trojan sand	E
	-
When of thy loss I thought belov egrave d Wife	X
And on the joys we shared in mortal life	X
My new planned cities and unfinished towers	Y
	-
'Behold they tremble haughty their array	W
In soul I swept the indignity away	W
In act embodied my deliverance wrought	E
	-
In reason in self government too slow	Z
Our blest re union in the shades below	Z
Be thy affections raised and solemnised	E
	-
Seeking a higher object Love was given	A2
For this the passion to excess was driven	A2
The fetters of a dream opposed to love	P
	-
Round the dear Shade she would have clung 'tis vain	J
And him no mortal effort can detain	J
He through the portal takes his silent way	W
	-
She perished and as for a wilful crime	B2
Was doomed to wear out her appointed time	B2
Of blissful quiet 'mid unfading bowers	Y
	-
And mortal hopes defeated and o'erthrown	J
As fondly he believes Upon the side	E
A knot of spiry trees for ages grew	L
And ever when such stature they had gained	E
The trees' tall summits withered at the sight	E
