âââBright youth,â she cries, âwhom all thy features prove A god, and, if a god, the god of love; But if a mortal, blessâd thy nurseâs breast, Blessâd are thy parents, and thy sisters blessâd: But O! how blessâd, how more than blessâd thy bride! Allied in bliss, if any yet allied. If so, let mine the stolen enjoyments be; If not, behold a willing bride in me.â
