But whether confident in magic rites Or touched with sexual pride to stand implor'd, Dalica smiled, then spake: "Away those fears, Though stronger than the strongest of his kind, He falls on me devolve that charge; he falls. Rather than fly him, stoop thou to al- Nay, journey to his tents. A city stood Whose father Gad built Gadir; on this self In honor of his ancestors, persuade .. Bending, he kissed her garment, and But wherefore this advice? young, un espoused, Charoba want persuasions! and a 66 queen!"
