CLEOPATRA.

[Dedicated to J. L. M.]

Here, Charmian, take my bracelets, They bar with a purple stainMy arms; turn over my pillows— They are hot where I have lain;Open the lattice wider, A gauze o'er my bosom throw,And let me inhale the odours That over the garden blow.
I dreamed I was with my Antony, And in his arms I lay;Ah, me! the vision has vanished— The music has died away.
