POMyRET.
HOW happy i« the bl«tm«lefs vefral's lot !
The woi 11 forgetting—by the world forgot :
Eternal lunlhilie of the fpoilels mind !
Each prayer accepted, and each wiih rtfign’d.
Labour and reft their equal periods keep ;
Obedient {lumbers, that ran wake and weep
D .-fires ; compatsV affections ever even ;
Tears that delight ! and fighs that watt to Heaven.
Grace (bines around her with f . enefi beams,
And whifpering angels prompt her golden dreams ;
For her, th' unfading rofe of Eden blooms,
And wings of ieraphs fpread divine perfumes.
Virtue, like‘beauty, wants no ftudied fmile,
But, of itlelf, (bines bright without a foil ;
Ji brinn# contentment to the meaneft birth,
And gives a talte of Hcav’n, while here on earth.
