Till naked quite of happiness, aloud

We call for death, and shelter in a shroud.

Where's Portia now?—But Portia left behind

Two lovely copies of her form and mind.

What heart untouch'd their early grief can view,

Like blushing rose-buds dipp'd in morning dew?

Who into shelter takes their tender bloom,

And forms their minds to flee from ills to come?

The mind, when turn'd adrift, no rules to guide,

Drives at the mercy of the wind and tide;
