O HAPPY time of youthful lovers thus	A
My story may begin O balmy time	B
In which a love knot on a lady's brow	C
Is fairer than the fairest star in heaven	D
To such inheritance of blessed fancy	E
Fancy that sports more desperately with minds	F
Than ever fortune hath been known to do	G
The high born Vaudracour was brought by years	H
Whose progress had a little overstepped	I
His stripling prime A town of small repute	J
Among the vine clad mountains of Auvergne	D
Was the Youth's birth place There he wooed a Maid	K
Who heard the heart felt music of his suit	J
With answering vows Plebeian was the stock	L
Plebeian though ingenuous the stock	L
From which her graces and her honours sprung	M
And hence the father of the enamoured Youth	N
With haughty indignation spurned the thought	O
Of such alliance From their cradles up	P
With but a step between their several homes	Q
Twins had they been in pleasure after strife	R
And petty quarrels had grown fond again	D
Each other's advocate each other's stay	S
And in their happiest moments not content	T
If more divided than a sportive pair	U
Of sea fowl conscious both that they are hovering	V
Within the eddy of a common blast	W
Or hidden only by the concave depth	X
Of neighbouring billows from each other's sight	Y
Thus not without concurrence of an age	Z
Unknown to memory was an earnest given	D
By ready nature for a life of love	A2
For endless constancy and placid truth	N
But whatsoe'er of such rare treasure lay	S
Reserved had fate permitted for support	B2
Of their maturer years his present mind	C2
Was under fascination he beheld	C2
A vision and adored the thing he saw	D2
Arabian fiction never filled the world	C2
With half the wonders that were wrought for him	E2
Earth breathed in one great presence of the spring	V
Life turned the meanest of her implements	F2
Before his eyes to price above all gold	C2
The house she dwelt in was a sainted shrine	D
Her chamber window did surpass in glory	E
The portals of the dawn all paradise	G2
Could by the simple opening of a door	H2
Let itself in upon him pathways walks	I2
Swarmed with enchantment till his spirit sank	J2
Surcharged within him overblest to move	K2
Beneath a sun that wakes a weary world	C2
To its dull round of ordinary cares	L2
A man too happy for mortality	E
So passed the time till whether through effect	C2
Of some unguarded moment that dissolved	C2
Virtuous restraint ah speak it think it not	C2
Deem rather that the fervent Youth who saw	D2
So many bars between his present state	C2
And the dear haven where he wished to be	E
In honourable wedlock with his Love	A2
Was in his judgment tempted to decline	D
To perilous weakness and entrust his cause	M2
To nature for a happy end of all	N2
Deem that by such fond hope the Youth was swayed	C2
And bear with their transgression when I add	C2
That Julia wanting yet the name of wife	R
Carried about her for a secret grief	O2
The promise of a mother	P2
To conceal	Q2
The threatened shame the parents of the Maid	C2
Found means to hurry her away by night	C2
And unforewarned that in some distant spot	C2
She might remain shrouded in privacy	E
Until the babe was born When morning came	R2
The Lover thus bereft stung with his loss	S2
And all uncertain whither he should turn	D
Chafed like a wild beast in the toils but soon	D
Discovering traces of the fugitives	T2
Their steps he followed to the Maid's retreat	C2
Easily may the sequel be divined	C2
Walks to and fro watchings at every hour	P2
And the fair Captive who whene'er she may	S
Is busy at her casement as the swallow	U2
Fluttering its pinions almost within reach	V2
About the pendent nest did thus espy	E
Her Lover thence a stolen interview	G
Accomplished under friendly shade of night	C2
I pass the raptures of the pair such theme	W2
Is by innumerable poets touched	C2
In more delightful verse than skill of mine	D
Could fashion chiefly by that darling bard	C2
Who told of Juliet and her Romeo	U2
And of the lark's note heard before its time	B
And of the streaks that laced the severing clouds	X2
In the unrelenting east Through all her courts	Y2
The vacant city slept the busy winds	Z2
That keep no certain intervals of rest	C2
Moved not meanwhile the galaxy displayed	C2
Her fires that like mysterious pulses beat	C2
Aloft momentous but uneasy bliss	A3
To their full hearts the universe seemed hung	M
On that brief meeting's slender filament	C2
They parted and the generous Vaudracour	P2
Reached speedily the native threshold bent	C2
On making so the Lovers had agreed	C2
A sacrifice of birthright to attain	D
A final portion from his father's hand	C2
Which granted Bride and Bridegroom then would flee	E
To some remote and solitary place	B3
Shady as night and beautiful as heaven	D
Where they may live with no one to behold	C2
Their happiness or to disturb their love	A2
But 'now' of this no whisper not the less	C3
If ever an obtrusive word were dropped	C2
Touching the matter of his passion still	D3
In his stern father's hearing Vaudracour	P2
Persisted openly that death alone	D
Should abrogate his human privilege	E3
Divine of swearing everlasting truth	N
Upon the altar to the Maid he loved	C2
'You shall be baffled in your mad intent	C2
If there be justice in the court of France '	F3
Muttered the Father From these words the Youth	N
Conceived a terror and by night or day	S
Stirred nowhere without weapons that full soon	D
Found dreadful provocation for at night	C2
When to his chamber he retired attempt	C2
Was made to seize him by three armed men	D
Acting in furtherance of the father's will	D3
Under a private signet of the State	C2
One the rash Youth's ungovernable hand	C2
Slew and as quickly to a second gave	G3
A perilous wound he shuddered to behold	C2
The breathless corse then peacefully resigned	C2
His person to the law was lodged in prison	D
And wore the fetters of a criminal	H3
Have you observed a tuft of winged seed	C2
That from the dandelion's naked stalk	I3
Mounted aloft is suffered not to use	J3
Its natural gifts for purposes of rest	C2
Driven by the autumnal whirlwind to and fro	P2
Through the wide element or have you marked	C2
The heavier substance of a leaf clad bough	C
Within the vortex of a foaming flood	C2
Tormented by such aid you may conceive	K3
The perturbation that ensued ah no	P2
Desperate the Maid the Youth is stained with blood	C2
Unmatchable on earth is their disquiet	C2
Yet as the troubled seed and tortured bough	C
Is Man subjected to despotic sway	S
For him by private influence with the Court	C2
Was pardon gained and liberty procured	C2
But not without exaction of a pledge	L3
Which liberty and love dispersed in air	P2
He flew to her from whom they would divide him	E2
He clove to her who could not give him peace	M3
Yea his first word of greeting was 'All right	C2
Is gone from me my lately towering hopes	N3
To the least fibre of their lowest root	C2
Are withered thou no longer canst be mine	D
I thine the conscience stricken must not woo	G
The unruffled Innocent I see thy face	B3
Behold thee and my misery is complete '	F3
'One are we not ' exclaimed the Maiden 'One	D
For innocence and youth for weal and woe '	F3
Then with the father's name she coupled words	O3
Of vehement indignation but the Youth	N
Checked her with filial meekness for no thought	C2
Uncharitable crossed his mind no sense	P3
Of hasty anger rising in the eclipse	Q3
Of true domestic loyalty did e'er	P2
Find place within his bosom Once again	D
The persevering wedge of tyranny	D
Achieved their separation and once more	P2
Were they united to be yet again	D
Disparted pitiable lot But here	P2
A portion of the tale may well be left	C2
In silence though my memory could add	C2
Much how the Youth in scanty space of time	B
Was traversed from without much too of thoughts	R3
That occupied his days in solitude	C2
Under privation and restraint and what	C2
Through dark and shapeless fear of things to come	S3
And what through strong compunction for the past	C2
He suffered breaking down in heart and mind	C2
Doomed to a third and last captivity	D
His freedom he recovered on the eve	K3
Of Julia's travail When the babe was born	D
Its presence tempted him to cherish schemes	T3
Of future happiness 'You shall return	D
Julia ' said he 'and to your father's house	U3
Go with the child You ha	V3
