THE IMPROVISATRICE.
105


A Sappho, or ere love had turned
The heart to stone where once it burned.
But by the picture's side was placed
A funeral urn on which was traced
The heart's recorded wretchedness;—
      And on a tablet, hung above,
Was graved one tribute of sad words—
      'Lorenzo to his Minstrel Love.'
