Rh I. DAL. 26.

Természetnek 'Eltetője.

sublimest life-creator,

Who didst breath and being give,

Thou, all worlds' regenerator,

In and by whose life we live:

Heart-controller—thou hast chosen

Thus its boiling streams to move;

Better were it chil'd and frozen,

Than tormented thus by love.

O! condemn me not, my father!

If I err—but pity rather—

As she stole my reason—she,

And not I, must guilty be. Rh
