    Like a young eagle, who has lent his plume
    To fledge the shaft by which he meets his doom,
    See their own feathers pluck'd, to wing the dart,
    Which rank corruption destines for their heart!

And on her lover's arm she leant,
And round her waist she felt it fold,
And far read more

And on her lover's arm she leant,
And round her waist she felt it fold,
And far across the hills they went,
In that new world that is the old.
