ABSENCE.
[Ah! what Pains, what racking Thoughts he proves]
Ah! what Pains, what racking Thoughts he proves,Who lives remov'd from her he dearest loves!
In cruel Absence doom'd past Joys to mourn,
And think on Hours that will no more return.
Oh! let me ne'er the Pangs of Absence try,
Save me from Absence, Love, or let me die.
