Orpheus Caledonius. 43
Perhaps at Death ; for who can tell,
Whether the Judge of Heaven or Hell,
By fome proud Foe has ftruck the Blow,
And laid the dear Deceiver low ?
BaloWy &:c.
I wifh I were into the Bounds,
Where he lies fmother'd in his WoundS;,
Repeating, as he pants for Air,
My Name, whom once he cali*d his Fair.
No Woman's yet fo fiercely fet,
But fhe'il forgive, tho' not forget.
BaloWy &c.
If Linnen lacks, for my Love's fake.
Then quickly to him would I make
My Smock once for his Body meet,
And wrap him in that Winding-fheet.
Ah me ! how happy had I been.
If he had ne'er been wrapt therein !
BaloWi &c.
Balow, my Boy, I'll weep for thee ;
Too foon, alake, thou'lt weep for me :
Thy Griefs are growing to a Sum,
God grant thee patience when they come 5
