 | Medulla Poetarum Romanorum |  |
Still on your Bloom shall endless Sorrow prey,
And waste your Youth in Solitude away?
And shall no pleasing Theme your Thoughts employ?
The pratling Infant, or the bridal Joy?
Think you such Cares disturb your Husband's Shade,
Or stir the sacred Ashes of the Dead?—
And waste your Youth in Solitude away?
And shall no pleasing Theme your Thoughts employ?
The pratling Infant, or the bridal Joy?
193
Or stir the sacred Ashes of the Dead?—
