For, oh ! that form fo heavenly fair,
Thofe languid eyes fo fweetly fmiling,
That artlefs blufh, and modeft air,
So fatally beguiling ;
Thy every look, and every grace,
So charm whene'er I view thee,
Till death o'ertake me in the chace.
Still will my hopes purfue thee.
Then when my tedious hours are pail:,
Be this laft bleiTing given,
Low at thy feet to breathe my lalt*
And die in light of heaven.
