Swealing taper—trickling tear!
Writing of a mournful ditty
To my lovely Lucy dear.
VII.
"Pouring tears from eyelids sluicy,
While the waning flamelet fades,
All for Lucy—lovely Lucy,
Loveliest of lady's maids.
"C.H. WILLIAMS."
[The foregoing ballad does not appear in the edition of the works of Sir C. Hanbury Williams (3 vols. 8vo. 1822), from the preface to which it appears that he was born in 1709, installed a Knight of the Bath in 1746, and died on the 2nd November, 1759.]
