YOUNG LADY

WITH THE FOLLOWING

POEM.

EAD here the pangs of unsuccessful love,
View the dire ills the weary
fufferers prove,
When Care in every shape has leave to reign,
And keener sharpens ev'ry fenfe of pain:
No charm the cruel fpoiler can controul,
He blafts the beauteous features of the foul;
With various conflict rends the deftin'd breast,
And lays th' internal fair creation waste:
The dreadful Daemon raging unconfin'd,
To his dire purpose bends the paffive mind,
Gloomy and dark the prospect round appears,
Doubts fpring from doubts, and fears engender fears;
Hope after hope goes out in endless night,
And all is anguish, torture, and affright.
O! beauteous friend, a gentler fate be thine;
Still
may thy star with mildeft influence shine;
May heav'n furround thee with peculiar care,
And make thee happy, as it made thee fair;
That gave thee sweetness, unaffected ease,
The pleafing look, that ne'er was taught to please,
