She turned, and flashed upon their view
Her stately neck's purpureal hue;
Ambrosial tresses round her head
A more than earthly fragrance shed:
Her falling robe her footprints swept,
And showed the goddess as she stept. (John Conington)

She turned, and flashed upon their view Her stately neck's purpureal hue; Ambrosial tresses round her head A more than earthly fragrance shed: Her falling robe her footprints swept, And showed the goddess as she stept.

A slumber did my spirit seal; I had no human fears; She seemed a thing that could not feel; The touch of earthly years. No motion has she now, no force; She neither hears nor sees; Rolled round in earth's diurnal course. . .
