" He Um ea* point alms, rho tempt them mut I"
'Tie not the loud obstreperous grief
That loudly clamoun for relief,
'Ti, not the querulous lament,
In which Impatience seeks a ♦ent,
'Th not the soft pathetic style.
That aims our pity to beguile,
Which can to Truth's keen eye impart
The real sorrows of the heart !
Ho! 'tie the tear in secret shed
1.40nt the starving orphan's bead,
The sigh that will not be represt,
Breath'd on the faithful partner's breast,
The bursting heart, th' hnploring eye,
To Haws uprait'd In agony,
With starts of desultory prayer
While Hope is quenching in Despair,
The throbbing forehead's burning pain.
While Frenzy', send usurp's the brain—
These are the traits no art can borrow
Of genuine suffering and sorrow!
