A Pajloral to the Memory of Mr, Shenftope. ,
ONEjmorn as I ftray’d thro’the grove,
A nymph to a Biepherd did fay—
" Your paflion I ne’er can approve,
Kiiid Corydon leave me, I pray ;
for 1 have much cause to lamenr,
Alexis, fond youth, is no more,
For ever adieu ! to content,
His death I am doom’d to deplore.
But had I bis passion return’d,
The love I had for him confeft,
His death now I ne’er (hould have mourn’d,
Alexis and I had been bled :
The l’eafon of pleasure is o’er,
Alas ! it is follow’d by pain,
Alexis, fond youth, he is dead,
Each ftiepherd repeats on the plain.
My Phillida, oft would he fay,
Oh ! pity a lover sincere !
The birds feem’d to lift’ on the spray,
When he did his paflion declare.
But Corydon yonder I fee,
.The lalles that follow the bier ;
Adieu ! I a mourner will be.
His grave Fll bedew with a tear.*
