On Miss ********.
When the dear Cause of all my Pain,
Is absent from my Sight,
Music, and Books, and Friends, in vain,
Attempt to give Dleight.
Is absent from my Sight,
Music, and Books, and Friends, in vain,
Attempt to give Dleight.
So, though a thousand Stars by Night
Heaven's Canopy bespark,
If the fair Moon's superior Light,
Be wanting, still 'tis dark.
Heaven's Canopy bespark,
If the fair Moon's superior Light,
