Ye powers! What do I see?
What can this mean!

[to Lycidas.

[to Lycidas.
What will she say on her returning sense!
Methinks I know it all!— [aside.]
Hear, Lycidas!
O! should she seek, or ask thee where
Thy hapless friend is fled;
Return this answer to the fair:
My hapless friend is dead.
Thy hapless friend is fled;
Return this answer to the fair:
My hapless friend is dead.
Yet, ah! let not such grief torment
The tender mourner's breast:
Reply but this: that hence he went,
With anguish sore opprest.
The tender mourner's breast:
Reply but this: that hence he went,
With anguish sore opprest.
What deep abyss of woe is mine,
From her I love to part!
And thus for ever to resign
The treasure of my heart!
From her I love to part!
And thus for ever to resign
The treasure of my heart!
[Exit.
