From out the middle air; from flowery nests;
And from the pillowy silkiness that rests
Full in the speculation of the stars。
Ah! surely he had burst our mortal bars;
Into some wond'rous region he had gone;
To search for thee; divine Endymion!
He was a Poet; sure a lover too;
Who stood on Latmus' top; what time there blew
Soft breezes from the myrtle vale below;
And brought in faintness solemn; sweet; and slow
A hymn from Dian's temple; while upswelling;
The incense went to her own starry dwelling。
But though her face was clear as infant's eyes;
Though she stood smiling o'er the sacrifice;
The Poet wept at her so piteous fate;
Wept that such beauty should be desolate:
So in fine wrath some golden sounds he won;
And gave meek Cynthia her Endymion。
Queen of the wide air; thou most lovely queen
Of all the brightness that mine eyes have seen!
As thou exceedest all things in thy shine;
So every tale; does this sweet tale of thine。
O for three words of honey; that I might
Tell but one wonder of thy bridal night!
Where distant ships do seem to show their keels;
Phoebus awhile delay'd his mighty wheels;
And turn'd to smile upon thy bashful eyes;
Ere he his unseen pomp would solemnize。
The evening weather was so bright; and clear;
That men of health were of unusual cheer;
Stepping like Homer at the trumpet's call;
Or young Apollo on the pedestal:
And lovely women were as fair and warm;
As Venus looking sideways in alarm。
The breezes were ethereal; and pure;
And crept through half…closed lattices to cure
The languid sick; it cool'd their fever'd sleep;
And soothed them into slumbers full and deep。
Soon they awoke clear eyed: nor burnt with thirsting;
Nor with hot fingers; nor with temples bursting:
And springing up; they met the wond'ring sight
Of their dear friends; nigh foolish with delight;
Who feel their arms; and breasts; and kiss and stare;
And on their placid foreheads part the hair。
Young men; and maidens at each other gaz'd
With hands held back; and motionless; amaz'd
To see the brightness in each other's eyes;
And so they stood; fill'd with a sweet surprise;
Until their tongues were loos'd in poesy。
Therefore no lover did of anguish die:
But the soft numbers; in that moment spoken;
Made silken ties; that never may be broken。
Cynthia! I cannot tell the greater blisses;
That follow'd thine; and thy dear shepherd's kisses:
Was there a poet born?… but now no more;
My wand'ring spirit must no further soar。…
THE END
