Who would have thought asthmatic lungs could bear
One single Autumn England's humid air!
That such ag'd, weak, and wither'd, frame, could last,
Thro' the strong struggles of one Winter's blast!
Eight long Olympiads must in strife revolve
Ere Time, and Contest, should such tie dissolve—
Ere pains—coughs—conflicts, and chagrin, should end,
And Death, that dreadful Fiend! become her Friend!
