—————Ask the faithful youth,

Why the cold urn of her, whom long he loved,

So often fills his arms; so often draws

His lonely footsteps at the silent hour

To pay the mournful tribute of his tears?

Oh! he will tell thee, that the wealth of worlds

Should ne'er seduce his bosom to forego

That sacred hour; when, stealing from the noise

Of care and envy, sweet remembrance soothes

With Virtue's kindest looks his aching breast,
