  1. Or iv'ry, which time's yellow taint defies,
  2. When twice enrich'd with proud Assyrian dies:
  3. Such were her looks, and a diviner grace
  4. Had never brighten'd that enchanting face.
  5. She cast her eyes down on the humble ground;
  6. Her eyes, so cast, an unknown sweetness found.
  7. Mournful her looks; her mournful looks became
  8. Shining thro' grief, and beautiful in shame.
