And felt a growing passion yet untry'd:
Her lovely image, on his mind impress'd,
Had fix'd her empire in his yielding breast.
But oh! what anguish did his soul invade,
When he was told, the lov'd enchanting maid
At Isis holy shrine devoutly bow'd,
A virgin priestess to the goddess vow'd?

This, this, he cry'd, must all my hopes confound,
Helpless my grief, incurable my wound!
