V.

Obferve, the radiant prince of day!
To his though kind, as conftant ray,
Scarce notice we afford :

But in those gloomy regions, where,
Seldom his glad❜ning beams appear;
He's courted; he's ador'd.

VI.

Man, born for labour, proud and vain,
Still prizes moft, what's hard to gain,
And ev'ry thing that's rare.

This conqu'ror then, at distance hold;
He warmer glows, as you feem cold,
But fcorns the willing fair.

The peerless GUNNING fpy'd,

He vow'd that to the realms above

Her form should be supply'd.

Straight POPE in tints an artist fam'd,
To win the prize effay'd,

Till in despair at length he claim'd,
Of ev'ry Pow'r their aid.

When Beauty's queen, the work to crown,
Came from her roseate bow'rs;

And with her brought the painted down,

That breathes on vernal flow'rs.

Affifted thus, he foon refin'd,

(Which else had ne'er been done) Thofe charms the goddess had defign'd, The femblance of her own.

THE DESPAIRING LOVER.

A

Tune-"As Granville's foft Numbers."

I.

HCHLOE! fweet tyrant! how long fhall I be,
A slave to thy charms, still unpitied by thee?
Since a paffion fo faithful, no favour can gain;
Yet to flatter thy pride, muft I ftill hug thy chain?
Of all thy admirers, confider how few,

Like STREPHON have lov'd, and like STREPHON

been true?

II.

When I fall at thy feet, and thy pity implore,
My conftancy urge, and how much I adore;
Thy looks fpeak my doom with fo gentle an air,
That I blefs the dear eyes, by which I despair,
Thou fay'st thou canst pity, but canft not approve,
"To barter thine heart, but with him thou canst

"love.".

III. To

III.

To others thou'rt eafy, familiar and gay; But scarce afford'st me ev'n a word in a day; And when thou vouchsaf 'st it, alas! thou'rt so true, Thy heart in thine eyes appears full to my view: Ah! tell me, I pray thee, how canft thou thus be, So cruel to him, who fo dotes upon thee? IV.

Despairing of love, I have us'd ev'ry art,
This fond, fatal paffion to tear from my heart;
But vainly, alas! 'tis fo rivetted there,

That I cannot the thought of its liberty bear :
Of all I've addrefs'd, in none cou'd I fee,
Ev'n half the perfections, that blaze forth in thee.

ས.

When to Heav'n I refort for ease of my cares; Thy image intrudes, and engroffes my pray'rs; So oft in the groves, I thy beauties proclaim, That Echo grows tir'd, with repeating thy name. Dear maid, then be kind, or ftraight doom me to death!

Yet, ftill I shall bless thee with my parting breath.

A tyler, with a law pretender,

They speech'd in city halls aloud,

And fir'd with words th' admiring crowd,
And ills they never knew.
