Her golden brooch, such birth betray’d,
And l;r was a snood amid
Such luxuriant rinileu hid,
_ Whose glossy black to shame might bring

Mantled a piaid with medest care, '
And mbmnch the folds combined
Above 4 more good and kind.

"The ﬁ:“\e ess movements of her breast §
Whéther joy danced in her dark eye,
* Or woe or pity claim’d a sigh, .
O filiul love was glowing there,

Those silver souns, so soft, o dear,
