She thought, and sigh'd. And now the blood began

To leave her beauteous cheek all cold and wan.

New sorrow dimm'd the lustre of her eye,

And on her cheek the fading roses die.

Alas! should Guilford too—when now she's brought

To that dire view, that precipice of thought,

While there she trembling stands, nor dares look down,

Nor can recede, till heaven's decrees are known;

Cure of all ills, till now, her lord appears—

But not to cheer her heart, and dry her tears!
