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! then, who her pangs and pains will soothe her sorrows share, and make them less? ye winged hours that o'er us pass'd, enraptur'd more, the more enjoy'd, your dear remembran my breast my fondly-treasur'd thoughts employ'd: that breast, how dreary now, and void, for her too sty once of room! ev'n ev'ry ray of hope destroy'd, and not a wish to gild the gloom! the morn, that warns th' approag day, awakes me up to toil and woe; i see the hours in long array, that i must suffer, lingering, slow: full many a pang, and many a throe, keen recolle's direful train, must wring my soul, were phoebus, low, shall kiss the distaern main. and when my nightly couch i try, sore harass'd out with care and grief, my toil-beat nerves, and tear-worn eye, keep watgs with the nightly thief: or if i slumber, fancy, chief, reigns, haggard—wild, in sore affright: ev'n day, all-bitter, brings relief from such a horror-breathing night. o thht queen, who o'er th' expanse now highest reign'st, with boundless sway oft has thy silent-marking glance observ'd us, fondly-wand'ring, stray! the time, unheeded, sped away, while love's luxurious pulse beat high, beh thy silver-gleaming ray, to mark the mutual-kindling eye. oh! ses in strong remembra! ses, never, o return! ses, if in stupor i fet, again i feel, again i burn! from ev'ry joy and pleasure torn, life's weary vale i'll wahro'; and hopeless, fortless, i'll mourn a faithless woman's broken vow!
