Devoid of basis, all support decays,
Her frantic mind can no where find relief;
The bubbles burst which shone with glittering rays,
And nought remain'd save passion, guilt, and grief.
Rob'd in religion, EDRAN won her heart;
Her faith is broke while she resents the wrong,
Wild-panting with love's agonizing smart
She burns, convuls'd with feelings deep and strong;
And oft diseas'd
With mingled passions, fiery ecstasies
Her trembling lips pour'd potently in song.
