While forests listen as the master plays ! O THE HOBSE-SHOE. Or as he sleeps, with noon-tide heat opprest, He knows the Dryads watch to shield his rest, Starts from his dreams to see, nor feels afiright, Their trailing garments fading from his sight ! The lovers walk where still the Poplar keeps A sister's vigil, and in amber weeps ; Around, the Hyacinth still sighs, Alas ! Acantha breathes love's sorrows as they pass : The light that steeps the clouds in glittering dyes Is Venus laughing throu...gh her thin disguise ; On trees the birds, the conscious stars above, All give them welcome, for they once could love. Harmonious all, no fallen angel strove With hostile thunder 'gainst the arms of Jove ; Hell's gloomy monarch owned superior might. And Hell's grave judges spake the doom of lUght ; The Furies shook their torch and scorpion scourge, And hissed their snakes, the parricide to urge ; THE HORSE-SHOE. 9 But sable Night to him no spectre brought Whose heart was conscious of no guilty thought.
