It is the eoul and-fbnxdatinn of all the fine art?,

Onto that mystic-God,* who comes from far,
Eich orient lands upon, the winds of June,
That bear him, dike swift ardors winged with

And when on coaao calm lustrous norn, her

Uplifts'ilu? golden .veil, and weds to hers

HoW the broad earth laapa into raptured life,
And thrills with m us ici

Of booriteoaa aumroer, site walks proudly on,
Shining with blissful ayea of matronhood,
Sill at the last; autumn with reverent hsnd

-Such wealth of sovereign beauty, abe once

Drawn by her aw foi loveliness, should dare
To gaze'tao elesely an it, and thus'fall
