RECORDS OF WOMAN.—NO. III.
The Bride of the Greek Isle.*[1]
Come from the woods with the citron-flowers,
Come with your lyres for the festal hours,
Maids of bright Scio!—They came, and the breeze
Bore their sweet songs o'er the Grecian seas;
They came, and Eudora stood robed and crown'd.
The Bride of the Morn, with her train around.
Jewels flash'd out from her braided hair,
Like starry dews midst the roses there;
Pearls on her bosom quivering shone,
Heaved by her heart through its golden zone;
- ↑ * This tale is founded on a circumstance related by D'Israeli in the second series of the "Curiosities of Literature," and forming part of a picture in the "Painted Biography" which he describes. The scene of the catastrophe is, however, transferred from Cyprus to the Greek Isles.
