Transcription:
‘Tis said that when Morning Sun
On Memnon’s famous Statue shone
Warm’d by its rays the chilly Stone
Breath’d Music’s soul-subduing Tone
That fill’d the mystic Temple’s Bounds
With Harmony’s responsive Sounds.
So where your Heart’s fond Prediction
Beam’d on its Object of Affection
It warm’d e’en through its inmost Fold
The Breast, till then reserv’d and cold
And made it vibrate with a Tone
Of Love accorded to your own
That shall to wedded life supply
A just, and sacred Harmony.__
