Love th' 11 became to him his greatest sunlight. Spring's beautv, Summer's warmth, and Autumn's fruitfulntss, all waxed within his breast, and like the idolators of Eastern clime, era bloody Turks had drenched the Pwrsian valleys with their gore, he bowed him down and worshippid. And yet so destitute ol quality I made him seem, ere yet. his words found an utterance, the Goddess spurned hitn ns a menial thing, unworthy of" her radient counlinance, Then did the cord with which I led hi 11 prow a surgeon's seaton in his heart, that fastened deep, and shed corruption from its wounds. "At length, I brought him to the Valley, where he met e woman of his own rank, by Unhand fortune: yet humble spirited, and full of ignorance. But there was about her that did promise somewhat, many simples that he saw within her store, that offered healing to his wounds, and he did trust them, and so wed.
