THEODOSIUS AND CONSTANTIA.

_Illa_; _Quis et me_, _inquit_, _miseram et te perdidit_, _Orpheu_?--

_Jamque vale_: _feror ingenti circumdata nocte_,

_Invalidasque tibi tendens_, _heu_! _non tua_, _palmas_.

VIRG., _Georg._, iv. 494.

Then thus the bride: "What fury seiz'd on thee,

Unhappy man! to lose thyself and me?--

And now farewell! involv'd in shades of night,

For ever I am ravish'd from thy sight:

In vain I reach my feeble hands, to join

In sweet embraces--ah! no longer thine!"
