But oh! how tempting fair; her hazle eye

The merchant swims in bliss; the duke demands

Swam dark in beaming languishment A health, and courteous gives the goblet

"Like thee my guest, he caught the roving glance

Of Rosimund, and lured her to her shame;

I saw,

I found them in their sinful trance,

And quenched in blood the barb'rous ingrate's flame;

It is the will of heav'n that I should be The still-avenging scourge of her inconstancy.

"This carbuncle that on my finger glows Was once a living serpent's precious eye:

Thus did an Arab sage his night's repose

Requite, of necromantick potency: For still, when woman's faith would go astray,

This modest jewel pales its bright and sanguine ray.

"And still, whene'er her thoughts to vice incline,

That cup is brought to medicine her offence;

And tears of rage then mingle with her wine,

Would they were changed to tears of penitence!

I may not dare, till she be chaste and true,

But thou, when a disabled tar,
With shattered limbs and many a scar
Chaunts forth his wo-worn ditty:
How to reject his plea will show,
Or tell me, if I must bestow,

To give the wretch-my pity!

If asked to be my neighbour's bail,
I know thou'lt warn me of a jail,

And, ere in broils I intercede,
Or point out some disaster.
Ask, if I get a broken head,
Where I'm to have a plaster!

So warned by holy dreams, remit the While many who life's ocean skim,

penance due.

And swore with me they'd sink or swim,
Now view me as a stranger;
Like my old dog, of faith long tried,
I know thou'lt scorn to quit my side,
However pressed by danger.

For thee, then, lo! I bid adieu,
For ever to the faithless crew

Who, while I can befriend 'em,
Are mine; but who will, to a man,
Forsake me, when they think I can
No more assistance lend 'em!
