One eve Of beauty, when the sun

To gold converting, one By one,
The ripples Of that mighty river.
Beside me on the bank Wa seated
A Seville girl with auburn hair,
And eyes that might the world have cheated
A bright, wild, wicked, diamond pair.
She stopped and wrote upon lie and.

With such small, white, shining hand,
You would have sworn 'twss silver flowing.
Her words were three, and not one more;
What could Diana's motto be?
The syren wrote upon the shore:
"Death-not Inconstancy."
And then she turned her languid eyes
So full on mine that, Devil take me!

! And was the fool she chose tomske me.

With such an eye and such hand
Yet one week more and believed
As much the woman - the sand.
