THE CUP OF CIRCE.

Literary Gazette, 10th August, 1822, Page 487 (cont.)
And he is bent in worship, as that touch,
That soft light touch, were ecstasy too much.
He is just turned from that bewildering face
To the fair arm that holds the magic vase—
The purple liquor is just sparkling up—
The youth has pledged his heart's truth on that cup!
