He counts each tedious hour an age;

And all his cry, &c.

When in his arms his infant train,

Their little woes and wants explain,

The trickling tear, and sigh supprest,

Betray the anguish of his breast:

’Till like the Starling in his cage,

His throbbing bosom bursts with rage;

And all his cry, &c.

Sometimes in dreams he wings his flight,
