DELIA-, or, The FRIEND.
BENEATH a grove’s embow’ring shade,
Grief smitten Delia silent fat ;
A flood of tears rufh’d to her aid,
Then thus Hie mourn’d Afpafia’s fate :
* Thou loveliest of the lovely train I
• Ah ! whither art thou fled i
• For me thro* life no joys remain,
* For ah f Afpafia’s dead.
* Graceful her person, and her mind
4 With heav’nly zeal inspired ;
* To virtue’s precepts still inclin’d,
* She liv’d as Hcav’n required.
* To harbour ill (he never lent#,
4 Abhorr’d deceit and lies;
* From earth to Heav’n enraptur’d flew 5
4 ’Tis thus the righteous dies!
* Then mourn her not. She gain’d by death,
4 She gain’d the realms of peace :
* But whilst I draw Heaven’s Vital breath,
4 To grieve I ne’er shall ccafe.
• Long had We lived in frrendrtiip’s ties:
* But now my friend’a no more :
* Whilst here confined beneath the skies,
4 I must my loss deplore.*
