Now, all the freshness of the morning fled,

My spirits burden’d, and my heart was dead;

The female servants show’d a child their fear,

And men, full wearied, wanted strength to cheer;

And when, at length, the dreaded storm went past,

And there was peace and quietness at last, 110

’Twas not the morning’s quiet—it was not

Pleasure revived, but Misery forgot;

It was not Joy that now commenced her reign,

But mere relief from wretchedness and Pain.
