Página 295 - Oh, sooner shall the rose of May Mistake her own sweet nightingale, And to some meaner minstrel's lay Open her bosom's glowing veil, Than Love shall ever doubt a tone, A breath of the beloved one!
Página 223 - And now, lash'd on by destiny severe, With horror fraught, the dreadful scene drew near!
