A feeble thing, that wayward isas.sion rules,

A wife deserted, or a friend betraved-
71se happy home by hild a rnia inside—
There me hit troptsita--pity yields a sigh,
And the sad tribute falls from virtue's eye.

These his. rentaleus with geterrses zeal defrost,
And advocate thic cause of Virtue's friend.
