SONNET XIV. FROM THE SAME.
Vaga augelletto che cantando vai, &c.
Sweet wandering bird who pour'st the soothing song,
Or tell'st of fate the melancholy tale,
While even sweeps with dusky shade along,
And autumn whistles down the leaf strewn vale.
Or tell'st of fate the melancholy tale,
While even sweeps with dusky shade along,
And autumn whistles down the leaf strewn vale.
If thou'rt like me with whelming woe oppress'd,
Our mutual griefs in mutual love shall join,
Thy liquid notes shall soothe my pensive breast,
And with thy sorrows thou may'st warble mine.
Our mutual griefs in mutual love shall join,
Thy liquid notes shall soothe my pensive breast,
And with thy sorrows thou may'st warble mine.
Tho' perhaps the object of thy tender love,
May still with thee support life's load of care,
While mine has wing'd her flight to realms above!
But ah! the melancholy prospect near
With the remembrance of past pleasures move
To tell to love's kind mate the woes I bear.
May still with thee support life's load of care,
While mine has wing'd her flight to realms above!
But ah! the melancholy prospect near
With the remembrance of past pleasures move
To tell to love's kind mate the woes I bear.
