Seite 162 - Thou, wicked spirit ! stalest me away, And my abused soul didst bear Into thy new-found worlds, I know not where, Thy golden Indies in the air ; And ever since I strive in vain My ravish'd freedom to regain ; Still I rebel, still thou dost reign ; Lo, still in verse, against thee I complain.
