Oh! be the day accurst that gave me birth!
Ye Seas, to swallow me in kindness rise!
Fall on me, Mountains! and thou merciful Earth,
Open, and hide me from my Delia's eyes!
Let universal Chaos now return,
Now let the central fires their prison burst,
And earth and heaven and air and ocean burn...
For Delia FROWNS... SHE FROWNS, and I am curst!
Oh! I could dare the fury of the fight
Where hostile MILLIONS sought my single life;
