A mind of tender feeling might, through life.

Have loved her—even though she were a wife.

THE sentinel was smitten with her charms;

Grief, pity, sighs, belong to Cupid's arms;

When bosoms heave and eyes are drowned in tears,

Then beauty oft with conq'ring grace appears.

Behold her, even glad to view the wight,

Whose well tim'd flatt'ry filled her with delight
