praises,
Twas less for the sake of thy high
sounding phrases
Than TO see the bright eyes of the dear
one discover
She thought that I was not unworthy to
love her.
There chiefly I sought thee. there only I

Her glance was the best OF the rays that
surround thee;
When it sparkled DER aught that was
bright in my story,
I knew 1t was love and felt 1t was glory.
