I wake-glad nature hails returning day,
And the wild fongsters chaunt their mattin-lay;
The fun in glory mounts the crystal sky,

And all creation is in fmiles but I.

Then, fink in death, my fenfes! for in vain

You strive to quench the phrenzy of your pain;

Break, break, fond heart!-her hate thou canst not tame,
Then take this certain triumph o'er thy flame.
'Tis done!-the dread of future wrongs is past-
Lo! brittle paffion verges to its last !

"Tis done!-vain life's illufive fcenes are o'er-
Difdainful beauty shakes her chains no more.
Come, peaceful gloom, expand thy downy breast,
And foothe, O foothe me to eternal rest !

There hush my 'plaints, and gently lull my woes,
Where one still stream of dull oblivion flows.

No labouring breast there heaves with torture's throes,
No heart confumes her daily hoard of woes ;
No dreams of former pain the foul invade,
Calmly the fleeps, a fad unthinking fhade!

But ere from thought my struggling foul is free,
One latest tear the dedicates to thee.

She views thee on the brink of vain defpair,
Beat thy big breast, and rend thy flowing hair.
Feels torturing love her fable deluge roll,
Weigh down thy fenfes, and o'erbear thy foul.
In vain your heart relents, in vain you weep,
No lover wakes from his eternal fleep.

VOL. IV.

Y

Alas!

Alas! I fee thy frantic fpirit rave,
And thy last breath expiring on my grave.

Is this the fortune of those high-priz'd charms?
Ah! Spare them for fome worthier lover's arms.
And
may
these bodings ne'er with truth agree,
May grief and anguish be unknown to thee!
May bitter memory ne'er recount with pain,
That e'er you frown'd, or I admir'd in vain !

No more my fpirit is prepar'd to fly,
Suppreft my voice, and stiffen'd is my eye.
Death's fwimming fhadows intercept my view,
Vain world, and thou relentless nymph, adieu!
