Note 222 — THE CORSAIR.[197]
Reading edition
{263} [Compare—
"When half the world lay wrapt in sleepless night, A jarring sound the startled hero wakes. He hears a step draw near—in beauty's pride A female comes—wide floats her glistening gown— Her hand sustains a lamp...."
Wieland's Oberon, translated by W. Sotheby, Canto XII. stanza xxxi., et seq.]
