Stands Jamblika's youthful figure.

Where still the figures shine--
The picture of a deadly fray
Worthy the pencil of Vernet!

With lunar lustre beam those looks of love,
That once could life of ev'ry care beguile:
In mindless rote, has ruled from sight
The substance now, one phantom figure
Remains on the slope, as when that night
Saw us alight.
What spectral figures mocked those staring eyes,
Luring them on to Stygian mysteries?
What overpowering sense of grief distressed?
