Then, at his word, the portal open flew;
The golden pedestal appear❜d in view,
On which display'd a lovely figure stands,
With looks of pleasure and extended hands.
As one in sleep profound, if sudden light
Appear, or clamour scare the silent night,
Starts with disorder'd air, and still misdeems
Of all he sees, and doubts if yet he dreams;
So fares the prince. His blood now scarcely flows;
Now with the rapid tide his bosom glows.

Fain would he spring his chosen fair to meet,

But doubt and dread restrain his eager feet.

Fain would he speak the sound unfinish'd dies.

Upon the fairy his inquiring eyes

Anxious he fixes, while with clasped hands,

Quick-beating breast, and quivering lip he stands.

6

At length, It is,' he cried, it is the maid

Whom my heart worship'd, while my words betray'd!

'Oh, painful moment of suspense and fear!

'Will mercy's soothing voice my spirit cheer?

'Or does stern justice, by vain hope, prepare

To make more keen the torment of despair?'

The gracious fairy then,

Thy fears dismiss,

• And open all thy soul to purest bliss:

'Nor thou, bright nymph, what heaven bestows disdain,
Thy royal bridegroom, and thy promis'd reign.'
He said, and gave her hand. With downcast eyes,
And blushing sweet consent, the nymph complies.
Th' enraptur'd prince receives the matchless maid,
In all her beauty's bloom, with every grace array'd,
And clasps with fond embrace his lovely wife,

More dear than all, than riches, thrones, or life.

THE END.
