Lyrical Poems
218. ORPHEUS

Robert Her

Orpheus he went, as poets tell,

To fetch Eurydice from hell;

And had her, but it was upon

This short, but strict condition;

Backward he should not look, while he

Led her through hell's obscurity.

But ah! it happen'd, as he made

His passage through that dreadful shade,

Revolve he did his loving eye,

For gentle fear or jealousy;

And looking back, that look did sever

Him and Eurydice for ever.
