By no weak pity might the Gods be moved;

She who thus perished not without the crime

Of Lovers that in Reason's spite have loved,

Was doomed to wander in a grosser clime,

Apart from happy Ghosts—that gather flowers

Was doomed to wear out her appointed time,

Apart from happy Ghosts—

She—who, though warned, exhorted, and reproved,

Thus died, from passion desperate to a crime—

By the just Gods, whom no weak pity moved,
