Had fix'd the moral sense, when, as a bow

For a long active season tightly strain'd

Relaxes, tumult and contention o'er,

She sunk into indulgence, glad to yield

To mildness, nature, and herself again.

Youth, e'en when wise and good, requires a change,

Delights in novelty, and hears of nought

Which suddenly it asks not to behold;

And Lora's children oft assail'd her ear

To let them journey to some rumour'd scene,
