His anger fails, his thoughts to kindness tend,
He less offended feels, and rather fears t’offend:
Now gently rising, hope contends with doubt,
And casts a sunshine on the views without;
And still reviving joy and lingering gloom
Alternate empire o’er his soul assume;
Till, long perplex’d he now began to find
The softer thoughts engross the settling mind:
He saw the mansion, and should quickly see
His Laura’s self - and angry could he be?
