met:
Yet Delia now engrosses all his care,"
Tho all must own I am at least as
fair ; ►
But Delia is the rich old Normal's
heir.
Yet Patemon for him I did disdain,
And Ljcidas my favour fought in
vain;
Fiorella and Sylvia.—A Pafloral,
TH E Sun bis rolling chariot
wheels had Raid,
And down to rest in Thetis' lap was
laid;
The feather'd people all were gone
to rest,
Or on the bough, or hovering in the
nest :
None but fwcet Philomela's notes
were heard ;
And now the radiant queen of right
appear'd.
Above the Lills—and gaining on the
view.
She o'er the dark her silver mantle
threw.
When Sylvia and Fiorella, (fairer
maids
Were never seen beneath the Sylvan
(hades)
Invited by the Moon's refpleden'
beam,
Sought the fair margin of a filvei
dream;
There fat them down, and while it
gently ran
Beneath their feet, Fiorella thus be
gan.
FLORELLA.
Dear Sylvia where is all thy myrth
and glee ?.
No lass eTewhile was e're so blythe as
thee.
Scarce half fapprefs'd, why heaves
that rising sigh?
Or why that tear just flatting from
the eve ?
Those pearly drops some hidden sor
row speak ;
Must tears so soon bedew that youth
ful cheek ?
Shall that fw et breast be torn with
grief and care,
Nor thy Fiorella all thy troubles
share?
Into my faithful bosom pour thy
grief;
A friend sometimes may bring cn
hop'd relief.
SYLVI A.
FL-fla well I know that faithful
heart ;
But, ah ! the wound's beyond the
reach of art.
FLRELLA.
Inconstant to such worth canDaatsa
prove ?
Methinks nought else could thus my
fy/via move.
SYLVIA.
To Damon's vow# you've oft a
witness been,
Beneath the fhade,and on the flowery
green ;
Beside this very stream you've heard
him swear,
No maid on earth with Sylvia could
compare 1
That Daphne's eyes no sparkling
laftre knew ;
On Cbloris' cheek no bluffing roses
grew ;
Nor Phebe's tresses pleas'd, tho black
asj et ;, .
But in his Sylvia, each perfection

SYLVI A.
Near yonder banks, where ming
ling rivers meet,
Her flowery fields invite his wand'ring
feet ;
Whene'er he goes to woo the happy
maid,
He counts her oxen browzing in the
shade;
Her num'rous flocks bewhiten all the
ground,
And to his ears convey a pleading
found;
Her lambs, her cheese, increase the
market's store,
And fill her lap with fhinirg heaps
of ore.
This, to his eyes, displays a thousand
charms,
And tempts th' inconstant rover from
my arms.
Poor Sylvia has nor gold nor fields to
boast ;
My fnovy flock's but twenty lambs
at most ;
A humble cottage screens me from
the ftom
And industry ne'er fails to keep me
warm;

WHEREAS Thomas Simpson,

fillers, Anna Frost and Rachel,
upon the express condition that the

should indemnify the said James and
Mar:ha from the pa, ment of any de

as there is no time limited for the

a time might be limited beyond which
no demand against said estate should
be supported. The fads alledged
being proved and the prayer of the
petition appearing reasonable and a
greeable to the intention of the Hand
