Scratched her, pinched her black as ink,
Kicked and knocked her,
Mauled and mocked her,
Lizzie uttered not a word; 430
Would not open lip from lip
Lest they should cram a mouthful in:
But laughed in heart to feel the drip
Of juice that syrupped all her face,
And lodged in dimples of her chin,

Three men, whose looks he very much approved,
And thought such honest fellows he had round,
Their like could nowhere be discovered round;
Without suspecting any thing was wrong,
The three, with complaisance and fluent tongue,
Saluted him in humble servile style,
And asked, (the minutes better to beguile,)
If they might bear him company the way;
The honour would be great, and no delay;
Besides, in travelling 'tis safer found,
And far more pleasant, when the party's round;
So many robbers through the

The prince should not these villains more restrain;
But there:--bad MEN will somewhere still remain.

conceived as free.

Let her bring from her chamber the many-toned lyre,
And sing us a song on the fall of her sire.

<< Mais les bijoux perdus de l'antique Palmyre,
Les metaux inconnus, les perles de la mer,
Par votre main montes, ne pourraient pas suffire
A ce beau diademe eblouissant et clair;
<< Car il ne sera fait que de pure lumiere,
Puisee au foyer saint des rayons primitifs,
Et dont les yeux mortels, dans leur splendeur entiere,
Ne sont que des miroirs
obscurcis
et plaintifs!
