no less astonishing than incomprehensible
no less incomprehensible than astonishing
but our tranquility was soon disturbed
he grinned with a most ghastly and horrible aspect
and behold her now, refused and defeated
but our tranquility was soon disturbed
glowing a little too bright with his admiration
he was astonished and uncomprehending
with a fervor that made her irresistible
notwithstanding all these excellent and rare properties
he grinned with a most ghastly and horrible aspect
behold her now, he cried, refused and defeated
notwithstanding all these excellent and rare properties
to part with so pretty a trinket
into the world at this sublime juncture
indeed, the world at this sublime juncture
hated to part with so pretty a trinket
grinning with a most ghastly and horrible aspect
dying for love of a beautiful young indian
love grew languid in the careful maid
shining a little too brightly for his comfort
with a fervor that made her irresistible
dying for the love of love itself
smiling with a most heavenly and glorious aspect
behold her now, possessed yet triumphant
but her tranquility was undisturbed
glowing a great deal too brightly for the comfort of the assembled multitude
