SONG, BY MOORE. When he who adores thee has left but the name wilt thou weep, when they darken the fame Of a life that for thee was resign'd ? Oh say, Yes, weep; and however my foes may condemn, Thy tears shall efface the decree : I have been but too faithful to theè. With thee were the dreams of my earliest love ; Every thought of my reason was thine : Thy name shall be mingled with mine. Oh, blest are the lovers and friends who shall live The days of thy glory to see : But the next dearest blessing that Heaven can give Is the pride of thus dying for thee. THE SAME TRANSLATED. Cum sceleris titulos et fati præter acerbi Nil tibi de fido cive superstes erit, Qui tibi do vitam, terra paterna, meam ? Sis tu flere memor! tunc, si maledixerit hostis, Delebunt lachrymæ tristia probra tuæ : Testor enim coelum; quanquam illi justa querela est, Te nimiâ tantum dicar amâsse fide. Prima mihi puero arrisit tua dulcis imago, Unica tu mentis cura virilis eras : Juncta meum nomen vota tuumque ferent. Felix, quisquis erit tibi sospes amicus, Ierne, Promissum fatis cum feret hora decus : Carus at hic coelo, vix illi sorte secundus, Cui licuit pro te sic statuisse mori. FROM ROMEO AND JULIET. Rom.
