the lament occasioned by the unfortunate issue of a friend's amour. alas! how oft does goodness would itself, and sweet affe prove the spring of woe! home. o thou pale orb that silent shines while care-untroubled mortals sleep! thou seest a wretch who inly pines. and wanders here to wail and weep! with woe i nightly vigils keep, beh thy wan, unwarming beam; and mourn, in lamentation deep, how life and love are all a dream! i joyless view thy rays adorn the faintly-marked, distant hill; i joyless view thy trembling horn, reflected in the gurgling rill: my fondly-flutteri, be still! thou busy pow'r, remembrance, cease! ah! must the agonizing thrill for ever bar returning peace! no idly-feign'd, poetic pains, my sad, love-lorn lamentings claim: no shepherd's pipe-arcadian strains; no fabled tortures, quaint and tame. the plighted faith, the mutual flame, the oft-attested pow'rs above, the promis'd father's tender name; these were the pledges of my love! encircled in her clasping arms, how have the raptur'd moments flown! how have i wish'd for fortune's charms, for her dear sake, and her's alone! and, must i think it! is she gone, my secret heart's exulting boast? and does she heedless hear my groan? and is she ever, ever lost? oh! she bear so base a heart, so lost to honour, lost to truth, as from the fo lover part, the plighted husband of her youth? alas! life's path may be unsmooth! her way may lie thrh distress!
