URNS and odours bring away! | |
Vapours, sighs, darken the day! | |
Our dole more deadly looks than dying; | |
Balms and gums and heavy cheers, | |
Sacred vials fill’d with tears, | 5 |
And clamours through the wild air flying! | |
|
Come, all sad and solemn shows, | |
That are quick-eyed Pleasure’s foes! | |
We convènt naught else but woes. | |
