Thy weary head, awhile to see

The later sports of earthly days,

How like what once enchanted thee?

Thy name, thy date, thy life declare—

Perhaps a queen, whose feathery band

A thousand maids have sighed to wear,

The brightest in thy beauteous land—

Perhaps a Helen, from whose eye

Love kindled up the flame of war—

Ah, me! do thus thy graces lie
