Yes, yes, it was the fatal cup,
Which held the deadly spell,
That dried his noble spirit up,
And made bis mind hell.
But soon the fatal charm had twined,
Its deadly grasp so firm,
Around his pure and noble mind,
He loUed the poisoned charm.
Shall we enquire what would have been the
result had the lovely, fascinating Agnes pla-
ced before the noble Deliyan the blessed
pledge which should not only secure her hand
at the altar, but his happiness and salvation
