1. GLEE.
[WHY, Fortune, still do mortals pour]
ORRILA, HERMAN, MAURICE.
WHY, Fortune, still do mortals pour
Their fervent vows thy shrine before,
So vain, so weak thy power?
Not all thy honours, all thy wealth
Can give the cheek one blush of health,
Or buy one peaceful hour!
Their fervent vows thy shrine before,
So vain, so weak thy power?
Not all thy honours, all thy wealth
Can give the cheek one blush of health,
Or buy one peaceful hour!
Still, Fortune, still thy gifts withhold,
Thy flattering smiles, and cup of gold
From me who fear thy favour:
Those flattering smiles bring cares and woes;
That cup of gold with tears o'erflows,
And bitter is their flavour!
Thy flattering smiles, and cup of gold
From me who fear thy favour:
Those flattering smiles bring cares and woes;
That cup of gold with tears o'erflows,
And bitter is their flavour!
