Thus glide the foft numbers along, Let his crook be with hyacinths bound, Let his forehead with laurels be crown'd, IV. DISAPPOINTMENT. I. E fhepherds give ear to my lay, YE And take no more heed of my fheep They have nothing to do, but to stray; She was fair -and my paffion begun She is faithlefs and I am undone. II. Perhaps II. Perhaps I was void of all thought; And the lip of the nymph we admire She is faithlefs, and I am undone; Ye that witness the woes I endure, Let reafon inftruct you to fhun What it cannot instruct you to cure. Beware how ye loiter in vain Amid nymphs of an higher degree: It is not for me to explain How fair, and how fickle they be. Alas! from the day that we met, What hope of an end to my woes? When I cannot endure to forget Yet time may diminish the pain: The flow'r, and the fhrub, and the tree, Which I rear'd for her pleasure in vain, In time may have comfort for me. : V. The sweets of a dew-fprinkled rofe, The found of a murmuring stream, The peace which from folitude flows, Henceforth fhall be Corydon's theme. High transports are fhewn to the fight, But we are not to find them our own; Fate never bestow'd such delight, VI. O ye woods, spread your branches apace; I would hide with the beasts of the chace; Yet my reed fhall refound through the grove With the fame fad complaint it begun; How the fmil'd, and I could not but love; Was faithlefs, and I am undone INDEX EL INDEX to the Fourth Volume.
