Let other cenes now rie, the Wizard aid: He wavd his hand, and other cenes aroe. See there, quoth he, the Knight upinely laid Invokes the houehold houres of learnd repoe; An auncient Song its manly joys betows: The melting paion of the Nutt-brown Mayde Glides through his breat; his wandering fancy glows, Till into wildet reveries betrayd, He hears th' imagind Faire, and wooes the lovely hade.

Tranported he repeats her contant vow, How to the green wode hade, betide whateer, She with her banihd Love would fearlee goe, And weet would be with him the hardet cheer. Oh heaven! he ighs, what bleings dwell incere In love like this!—But intant as he ighd, Burting into the room, loud in his ear His Lemman thonders, Ah! fell dole betide The girl that truts in man before he bees his bride!
