    With haughty and astonished mteti Awhile he stood ; " And well , Iw ^ fi , Some wood-born clown , with fann and vine , Hath sworn to wed this girl of thine ; But let mm till , " quoth he , " his lands , She'll scortf tlje press of viilgar hands \" " True / ' sard her . ather ; " there he stands !" Delora !

    " Nohle ! that wood-born clown am IYon maiden owes me constancy ; My heart ploughs not the vassal earth , Proud as the mountains of my birth ; What if my hands should dress the vine , Or drive a herd of sheep or swine ? My soul might measure stars with thine V Delora !

    It is a cunning cheat of pride To deign no answer when defied . To sneer he strove with lips all pale It fail'd him like a trick that ' s stale , And he departed haughtily , With train and station proud to see , And left us on our own green lea : Delora !

    That night upon my sleep there came A dream of roaring , sense of flame , And springing from my couch , I found My cottage burning all around f Thro' the red smouldering door I burst , But suffocated with the gust , I fell among the smoking dust ; Delora !

    Ere I could rise , upon me sprang Four armed men with iron clang I And one I grasp and crush his mail , Until hi % breath and being fail ; The others , after struggle long , Bind down my arms with many a thong */ And swiftly hurry me along ; Delora !

    Asid tha cW rovh pointetti to Andrea Com © wiHt a finger of pride , while bis mind mileth contempt on the great lord . Bat Andrea Copno answereth for himself and Nature .
