sappho redivivus—a fragment by all i lov'd, ed and fot, no friendly face e'er lights my squalid cot; shunn'd, hated, wrong'd, unpitied, unredrest, the mock'd ation of the ser's jest! ev'n the poor support of my wretched life, snatched by the violence of legal strife. oft grateful for my very daily bread to those my family's once large bounty fed; a wele i their homely fare, my griefs, my woes, my sighs, my tears they share: (their vulgar souls uhe souls refin'd, the fashioned marble of the polished mind). in vain would prudence, with decorous sneer, point out a suring world, and bid me fear; above the world, on wings of love, i rise— i know its worst, and that worst despise; let prudence' direst bodements on me fall, m[ontgomer]y, rich reward, o'erpays them all! mild zephyrs waft thee to life's farthest shore, nor think of me and my distress more,— falsehood accurst! no! still i beg a place, still hy heart some little, little trace: for that dear trace the world i would resign: o let me live, and die, and think it mine! “i burn, i burn, as when thro' ripen'd by driving winds the crag flames are borne;” now raving-wild, i curse that fatal night, thehe hour that charm'd my guilty sight: in vain the laws their feeble force oppose, 'd at love's feet, they groan, his vanquish'd foes. in vain religios my shrinking eye, i dare not bat, but i turn and fly: s vain upbraids th' unhallow'd fire, love grasps her scorpions—stifled they expire! reason drops headlong from his sacred throne, your dear idea reigns, and reigns alone; each thought intoxicated homage yields, and riots wanton in forbidden fields. by all on high ad mortals know! by all the scious villain fears below! by your dear self!—the last great oath i swear, not life, nor soul, were ever half so dear!
