He fasted one whole day; she-tried in vain

To make him from the enterprise refrain.

AT length, the second day she 'gan to feel,

And strong emotion scarcely could conceal.

What! let a person die her charms could save!

'Twas cruel, thus to treat a youth so brave.

Through pity, she at last, to please the chief,

Consented to bestow on him relief;

For, favours, when conferred with sullen air,

But little gratify she was aware.
