What could fhe fay ? what could flie
do ? her complaints were many and vain.
She opened this grave for the warri-
ours ; and fell into it herfelf, before it
was clofed ; like the fun fnatched awav*

Tkou haft heard this tale of grief,
O fair daughter of the ifles ! Rivine was
fair as thyfelf : fhed on her grave a
tear.
