HEN Youth his faery reign began Ere Sorrow had proclaim'd me man; While Peace the present hour beguil'd, And all the lovely Prospect smil'd; Then, ! 'mid my lightsome glee I heav'd the painless for thee!

And when, along the waves of woe, My harass'd Heart was doom'd to know The frantic Burst of Outrage keen, And the slow Pang that gnaws unseen; Then shipwreck'd on Life's stormy sea I heav'd an anguish'd for thee!
