Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Orpheus and the Sirens: A Drama in Lyrics
Death ye fear not, yet now 0 fear to gaze On these fair scenes and phantom-haunted skies, Whence goddess-shapes that ravish and amaze, Dream-like, with golden locks and starry eyes, Alluring bend the songs half heard, and sighs, At whose appeal the vital spirits fail, That ravish soul and sense with soft surprise, Tremble thereat, 0 yo with passion pale.
