DUET By Miss PHILLIPS and Mr. DUBELLAMY.

MELVILLE.
“Still, ah! still in accents sweet,
“The soft vows of Truth repeat;
“Breathe, that gentlest balm of care,
“Sighs that sooth the griefs they share.

EMILY.
“Let thy own fond heart reveal,
“All that equal love can feel:
“Let each hope, each fear it knows,
“My responsive cares disclose.


15

BOTH.
“O mutual Love, thy gentle smile
“Can Fortune's rudest frown beguile;
“Ev'n parting sighs with thee delight;
“Sweet are the sorrows that unite.”
