ODE the Fifteenth. THALIA.
The Trav'ler o'er the desart Plain,Thro Darkness in the Wind and Rain,
Forlornly lab'ring for his Way,
With Joy descrys the Dawn of Day.
From Wave to Wave the Sailor toss'd,
While in Despair and Midnight loss'd,
The Tempest less'ning by Degrees,
The polar Star with Transport sees.
Haste, haste, Thalia, to my Aid,
Thou lovely, grief-expelling, Maid:
To me thou'rt more delightful far,
Than is the Sun or polar Star.
