Ah miserable Astragon!

Thou art condemn'd alone

To bear the burthen of a wretched life,

Still in this howling wilderness to roam,

Whilst all thy bosom friends unkindly go,

And leave thee to lament them here below.

Thy dear Alexis wouldn't stay,

Joy of thy life, and pleasure of thine eyes,

10Dear Alexis went away,
