Their nerves by piercing Boreas brac’d,

And summer’s languor’s all eras’d;

They then, attendant at our side,

Through every scene of pleasure glide;

Admire our dress, our beauty more,

And (as in duty bound) adore.

Since such delights I tasted last,

Near eight insipid months have past;

Each circling hour a dreary void,

Despis’d, neglected, unenjoy’d:
