90 II. DAL. 75.

Nem ki névért, dicsö&#x301;ségért.

the songs to Pindus brought,

By the unholy thirst for glory;

Not the songs by riches bought—

The perfidiousness of story:

No! but that life-sparkling fountain,

Springing forth from transport's soul,

Up to joy's delirium mounting,

Gladdening nature's glowing whole,

Winging love's cloud-piercing arrow

Thro' time's boundaries, dark and narrow,

Wending tow'rds the heavens along,

This—this only be my song.
