THE TROUBADOUR.


CANTO II.


The first, the very first; oh! none
Can feel again as they have done;
In love, in war, in pride, in all
The planets of life's coronal,
However beautiful or bright,—
What can be like their first sweet light?

    When will the youth feel as he felt,
When first at beauty's feet he knelt?
