So soft his pipe, so sweet his air:

None heard, but felt the power of love,

’Mong all the nymphs assembl’d there.

Not Philomel’s delightful strain

Could such extatic joys impart,

As did thy notes, O darling swain!

Which well can cheer the anxious heart.

His count’nance as Aurora bright,

His smiles gave joy to all around;

In virtue, wit, and all that’s right,
