As if once more forsaken, I complain,

And close my eyes to dream of you again:

Then frantic rise; and, like some fury, rove

Through lonely plains, and through the silent grove,

As if the silent grove and lonely plains,

That knew my pleasures, could relieve my pains.

I view the grotto, once the scene of love,

The rocks around, the hanging roofs above,

That charmed me more, with native moss o'ergrown,

Than Phrygian marble or the Parian stone:
