XLVII.
Singing and murmuring in her feastful mirth
Joying to feel herself alive,
Lord over nature, lord o' the visible earth,
Lord of the senses five—
Singing and murmuring in her feastful mirth
Joying to feel herself alive,
Lord over nature, lord o' the visible earth,
Lord of the senses five—
XLVIII.
As some rich tropic mountain, that infolds
All change, from flats of scattered palms
Sloping thro' five great zones of climate, holds
His head in snows and calms—
As some rich tropic mountain, that infolds
All change, from flats of scattered palms
Sloping thro' five great zones of climate, holds
His head in snows and calms—
XLIX.
Full of her own delight and nothing else,
My vainglorious, gorgeous soul
Sat throned between the shining oriels,
In pomp beyond control;
Full of her own delight and nothing else,
My vainglorious, gorgeous soul
Sat throned between the shining oriels,
In pomp beyond control;

Muskscented blooms—all taste—grape, gourd or pine—
In bunch, or singlegrown—
With piles of flavorous fruits in basket-twine
Of gold, upheapèd, crushing down
Muskscented blooms—all taste—grape, gourd or pine—
