XXXVIII + 

“My Madeline! sweet dreamer! lovely bride! + 

Say, may I be for aye thy vassal blest? + 

Thy beauty’s shield, heart-shaped and vermeil dyed? + 

Ah, silver shrine, here will I take my rest + 

After so many hours of toil and quest, + 

A famish’d pilgrim,⁠—saved by miracle. + 

Though I have found, I will not rob thy nest + 

Saving of thy sweet self; if thou think’st well + 

To trust, fair Madeline, to no rude infidel. + 
