thee! no, For- get thee! no, Forget thee! no.
Still mem'ry, now my only friend,
Shall, with her soothing art, endeavour
My present anguish to suspend,
By painting pleasures lost for ever.
She shall the happy hour renew,
When full of hope and smiles I met thee,
And little thought the day to view,
When thou would'st wish me to forget thee.
Forget thee! no.
Yet I have liv'd to view the day,
To mourn my past destructive blindness,
To see now turned with scorn away,
Those eyes, once fill'd with answering kindness
But go— farewell, and be thou blest,
If thoughts of what I feel will let thee,
Yet, though thy image kills my rest,
'Twere greater anguish to forget thee.
Forget thee! no
