II

My casque I dofft to scoop the fount,

Angelica!

With liquid pureness bubbling cool

It rose--then clashed into the pool ...

Thy name I saw, hewn in the rock!

And under it ...

Ah no! I dreamed! my eyes did mock

My senses!... Then I seemed to count,

All fire-lit,

The letters! deep, carved in the rock!

_Medoro_ carved in every rock!--

My brain went round like some wild clock,

Angelica!
