’Tis then the breathings of the passing wind
Seem to my listening ear Misfortune’s sighs;—
Nor only seem: for tho’ at dead of night
Labour recruits his strength in deepest sleep,
And rosy Youth enjoys his slumbers light,
Desponding Penury still wakes to weep.
Regent of night! thy softest influence shed;
Ye rising storms, oh! spare her houseless head!
