44 Why (fiorbar ask'd with wonted art) " Why seeks the king not maids of love? " Beauty's fond smile is to the heart ** More rich thau all the joys above. 12 28 cronthal; a tale. " Than Trathal's daughter, who more fair? " Than Trathal's daughter, who more kind? " All lovers are accepted there, " The king will not forbiddance find. " He said — his words like death's cold damp WT Struck to the youthful monarch's soul; For there was fix'd the unsullied stamp Of Sela's virtuous image whole. His he...art sank low — no word he spake, Sela, tho' false, he would be true : No dull ear from his lips should take The secret, Sela only knew. Days, weeks, and moons pass'd slow away.
