Thou silver deity of secret night Direct my footsteps, thro' the woodland shade Thou conscious witness of unknown delight The lover's guardian & the muses aid! By thy pale beams I solitary rove To thee my tender greif confide Serenely sweet you gild the silent grove My freind, my goddess, & my guide. E'en thee fair Queen; from thy amazing height The charms of young Endymion drew Veil'd with the mantle of concealing night With all thy [[underline]] greatness, & thy coldness too. [[/underline]] [[foreign: French]] Oromane a Zaire Mais d'ou vient que ton coeur En partageant mes feux differait mon bonheur Serait-ce artifice! -- Epargne toi ce soin; L'art n'est pas fait pour toi, tu n'en a pas besoin [[/foreign]]
