Of change and tumult, I ascend;

Nor flatter’d by thy levell’d way,

That smiles, like worldlings, to betray.

How swells my aged heart, now near

Scenes to my happiest youth so dear!

How sinks that heart, as these arise

Distorted, to my anguish’d eyes!

Where are those ample plains, display’d

’Mong woods with many an opening glade?

Where is the wild doe bounding by,
