SONG XVII. The Invocation.

I

Some pitying Power that rules above
To my Request encline:
Since I must ne'er have Cælia's Love,
For ever raze out mine.
Her Scorn I can no longer bear!
Tis Murder o'er and o'er!
Ah! neither let me Hope or Fear,
But ease my Passion by Despair,
And she can wound no more.

II

Take her for ever from my Sight,
A Fate like mine to prove;
That she may feel, in all its Spite,
The Curse of slighted Love:
That swooning, raving with her Care,
She may her Error find;
How vainly Heav'n has made them Fair,
That to their dying Lovers Prayer
Are cruel and unkind.
