Where &Arty .11.porlingly pl

A:0 are what a divert 'tie made
The tuse.beds dejectedly fide,
Where tile Qopes of the arbour once L3y ,
For Cupid so • (mooted the maid,
TII.I Ilyouvis his Mort' her •was.

Thit arb,iur Mat boast' d her • kill,
And bloomed in notch sweetness of ttrw•rs,
Its pi-acmes no linter distil,
And relsx'd he its len.lrtl powers ;
th' awe and the waste or the scene,
The Graces it keep.
\•here once they had guarded their Quern,
Mug ihry have fallen asleep "

The lyre she loved is unstrung,
The Muses sit drooping arunitd,
Each grotto that rcho'd her tongue,
No longer with magic resound;
The siresnilet that flowed to its
In weeping her alai ere, is di y,
The brooks have no waters to drink,
Save tears, that the Muses supply.

Yet why should we impiously moui ft,
Since Hymen has &lona her away
Fur sure 'tie the happiest bourne,
When Cupid has lighted the 11 y ;
flo joke then, 0 Bower! and sung
The wreaths she has brought from your ,lisee
To Virtue's own flowers belong,
Whose sweetness—me! •ever shall fade'
