His well-tim'd steps, and takes a silent gaze;

Or hears repeated, as he passes nigh,

One short, but simple word, "Good-by!"

A beauty once she was in life's gay morn;

Once was she happy, calm, and free,

Now lives in woe, in rags, and misery.

A revolution too hath taken place,

In manners, actions, and grimace.

Unlawful love has marr'd her former peace,
