Notes

  • At head of poem: Translated from the Latin
  • Epigraph: He sips his flow'r and flies away,/And leaves no mark to see./How could you tell he had been there/To take its sweets away?/The ambrosial flow'r is dwelling there,/Tho' he's flown far away.'
  • At foot of poem: Sydney, July 5, 1829
