But from her sin thou hadst thy birth;
And any fault might be forgot

Or Proserpine in Euna's grove,
The day she was purloined by Dis;
Or fairest fay upon the heath,
Or bursting blossom on the tree,
Or dew-drop gemmed upon a wreath,
Or stars reflected on the sea:

Or aught that eye e'er rested on,
Since first the light from heaven gleam'd-
And YET, an me poor fragile one!

Doth ,nroag and san so kesnly hate,

They'd scOrn thee, child, in spite Of fate.
But cheer thee, dear; the earth hath room
For thou and ]. and all that are;

Protected by high Heavens care.
