"The wind doth waft us fresh and free,

The planets brightly lead

To Tunis or to Tripoli,

Where'er we best may speed.

"And we have stolen thy bride away To bear no peasant's pains,

But

grace the harem of the Bey,

Whom thou shalt serve in chains."

'Twas morn: a hundred warriors press'd,
With vest of gold and visage grim,
Before the judgment seat, and guessed
The price of beauty's beating breast,
And love's devoted limb:

And the dark chief, with omen dread,
Gazed long upon the maid, half dead,
Until her hero's tale was said,

And then he gazed on him.

And as he gazed he seemed to tell

How heaven ne'er oped the flower of fear,

But kindly, in its poison bell,

It left some honey drop to dwell,

The guardian of the sphere.

Yea, how the winds and waves can die

In whispers, like a love-born sigh,

And the wild lightning skim the sky,

Upon a calm career.

And mild he spake-"I will not wound One plume your soaring hopes possess'd, Nor cast our lawless links around

Two hearts the King of Kings hath bound
Into a shrine so blest.

There rather shall the Moor lay down
A tribute worth his ruby crown,
That ye may rule to love's renown
The land ye love the best."

Oh whither, whither, once again,
Bold pirate, dost thou hold
Thy course upon the bounding main,
With freight of gems and gold?

And who are these that trust the wave
Beneath thy dreaded sail?

This pair, so beautiful and brave,
That chide the lagging gale?

Vain question for an answer guess'd!
For pains and perils past,
Behold once more Licosa's crest,

Where love is crowned at last.

There late a moss-clad column bore

This simple page of peasant lore,
And aye, at vintage eve,

Young plighted pairs dreamt o'er and o'er

What love might still achieve.
