SONG[426:1]

FROM _ZAPOLYA_

A Sunny shaft did I behold, From sky to earth it slanted: And poised therein a bird so bold-- Sweet bird, thou wert enchanted!

He sank, he rose, he twinkled, he trolled 5 Within that shaft of sunny mist; His eyes of fire, his beak of gold, All else of amethyst!

And thus he sang: 'Adieu! adieu!

Love's dreams prove seldom true. 10 The blossoms they make no delay: The sparkling dew-drops will not stay.

Sweet month of May, We must away; Far, far away! 15 To-day! to-day!'

1815.

HUNTING SONG[427:1]

FROM _ZAPOLYA_

Up, up! ye dames, and la.s.ses gay!

To the meadows trip away.

'Tis you must tend the flocks this morn, And scare the small birds from the corn.

Not a soul at home may stay: 5 For the shepherds must go With lance and bow To hunt the wolf in the woods to-day.

Leave the hearth and leave the house To the cricket and the mouse: 10 Find grannam out a sunny seat.

With babe and lambkin at her feet.

Not a soul at home may stay: For the shepherds must go With lance and bow 15 To hunt the wolf in the woods to-day.

FAITH, HOPE, AND CHARITY[427:2]

FROM THE ITALIAN OF GUARINI

FAITH

Let those whose low delights to Earth are given Chaunt forth their earthly Loves! but we Must make an holier minstrelsy, And, heavenly-born, will sing the Things of Heaven.

CHARITY

But who for us the listening Heart shall gain? 5 Inaudible as of the sphere Our music dies upon the ear, Enchanted with the mortal Syren's strain.
