As in old pictures tender cherubim + 

A child’s soul thro’ the sapphired canvas bear, + 

So, thro’ a real heaven, on they swim + 

With the sweet princess on her plumaged lair, + 

Speed giving to the winds her lustrous hair; + 

And so she journey’d, sleeping or awake, + 

Save when, for healthful exercise and air, + 

She chose to “promener à l’aile,” or take + 

A pigeon’s somerset, for sport or change’s sake. + 
