With their minds’ sufferings, age, and growing pain,
That ancient couple could not long remain,
Nor long remain’d; and in their dying groan
The suffering youth perceived himself alone; 510
For of his health or sickness, peace or care,
He knew not one in all the world to share.
Now every scene would sad reflections give,
And most his home, and there he could not live;
There every walk would now distressing prove,
And of his loss remind him, and his love.
