Le Carlotta Grist, in “Paquita”

Sylphid syren, lightly bounding,

Grace’s spells thy form surrounding ;

Well thy fascinations trace

The softness of thy southern race.

Bright Paquita-Senorita-

          Spain should be thy dewlling-place ;

On the Rota, fair Carlotta,

          One might hail that form and face.
