Here I remark all poets are + 

Love to idealize inclined; + 

I have dreamed many a vision fair + 

And the recesses of my mind + 

Retained the image, though short-lived, + 

Which afterwards the muse revived. + 

Thus carelessly I once portrayed + 

Mine own ideal, the mountain maid, + 

The captives of the Salguir’s shore. + 

But now a question in this wise + 

Oft upon friendly lips doth rise: + 

Whom doth thy plaintive Muse adore? + 

To whom amongst the jealous throng + 

Of maids dost thou inscribe thy song? + 
