DUET — Conner and Saba.
Conner.
STILL muft droop Maon ? Still weep his
fair one,
Still their fweet babe join their fond pa-
rent's figh j
Her hair it is a filk-light, her fkin it is milk
white,
And dark is the blue of her bright rol-
ling eye.
Saba.
Fate has divided, tyrants derided.
Meagre defpair commands the deep figh ;
But fate now relenting — to juftice aflenting,
The big hour of veng'ance proclaims to
be nigh.
Connor.
Sweet thought alluring, bright hope in-
furing,
Bids joy with rapture then beam in eath
eye;
