And gardens with their broad walks where soft the foot
And there three noble msidens sat
In the hst budding spring Of YOUTH when all its prospects
And little they they sat- knelt at vesper prayers
That scotland knew no higher names-hed more dear han
And little she the oveies thought before the virgin shrine
or royal blood high the ancient Stuart line
Calmly her happy days sped uneosnted in their flight

And proudly kndss Henry eye well ween to see

Strong himself and kindred among peers.
And there stood the Mee!c. that proud Italian line
Yet farer than all basked in fortunes tide

And DER its lee the France in the light Of evening lay,
And on its deck lady sat who gszed with fearful eyes,
