MELANCHOLY.
Melancholy
Is not, as you conceive, indisposition
Of body, but the mind's disease.
The Lover's Melancholy, Act iii. Sc. 1. J. FORD.
Go—you may call it madness, folly,
You shall not chase my gloom away.
There's such a charm in melancholy,
I would not, if I could, be gay!
To —— S. ROGERS.
There is a mood
(I sing not to the vacant and the young),
There is a kindly mood of melancholy
That wings the soul and points her to the skies.
Ruins of Rome. J. DYER.
