The Phenix.
1.
Often have I wish'd to knowWhy the Phenix hath her nest
far removed in the East,
Now the reason I can show.
2.
'Tis because that in the WestWe 'ave another of her race,
But we do not know the place
VVhere she will take up her rest.
3.
Amorea, it is she,Yet alas, it is not known,
And I doubt will ne're be shown,
VVhence that happy fire must be:
Shall this blessed Phenix burn,
And raise young out of her Urn.
