SONG.
How blest to be that lady's page,
And. live at her command ;
To give or leave her soft message,
Or glove her lily hand.
How sweet to watch her meaning eye.,
And ere she breathes a prayer,
Guess, and perform it instantly,
Then read her kind thinks there.
How blest to catch her raven hair,
That lucky chance unties: ,
The beauteous mischief to repair,
And touch the silken prize. t ,
What joy to place within her arms
The lute she loves so well ;
For, o'er it as she bends her chows, is"
It seers my lore to ten.
For, al her fingers press the strings, „r„
It yields a softer tone, Ifor

And from her touch divine their springs -t
SOmtdt all .to earth, tiakW/I.
But of these visions base ady height,
Which pus in fair may.
I'll he aololllo to dream ityt night,
,And sigh for all the Any.
Let me but be that lady's page,
I ask not &re nni fee
To do her biddingill engage,
Viliatiter that bidding be.
It
place my pride in serving her,
My fire beneath her feet :
