EPODE I.

Oh Pity, on whose cheek divine,
Like gems, the trembling dew-drops shine;
Whose humid lustre soothes the heart
Impierc'd by keen Misfortune's dart;

Descend, sweet maid! and with a sigh
Chace from the furious Albert's mind
Each passion, and each thought unkind,
And let his fierce resentment quickly die.
