Written at Athens .

January 16 , 1810 .

The spell is broke, the charm is flown!

Thus is it with life’s fitful fever:

We madly smile when we should groanjDelirium is our best deceiver.

Each lucid interval of thought

Recalls the woes of Nature ’s charter,And he that acts as wise men ought.

But lives, as saiuts have died, a martyr-
