And with wonder his form did I closely scan;
He is not ugly, and is not lame,
But really a handsome and charming man.

Obliging, a man of the world, and civil;
A diplomatist too, well skill'd in debate,
He talks quite glibly of church and state.”

My desires are for a modest hut, a thatched roof, but a good bed, good food, very fresh milk and butter, flowers in front of my window and a few pretty trees by my door.

The flowers were all from the earth fast springing,
The sun was laughing, the birds were singing.”

A thousand times hovering round;
But round himself, all tender like gold,
The sun's sweet ray is hovering found.”
