SONG.

When Phœbus, for what crime unknown,

Was exiled from the Courts of Jove,

And to this earth came mournful down,

Of all things else bereft, but love;

(For that pure Fire feels not the storms

That shake or change this worldly frame;

Immortal as the soul it warms,

It burns in unextinguish’d flame—)

His fingers to the lyre he turn’d,
