 | The Grecian Story |  |
This past, All vanish'd round, did leave howe're
That Young, prime Couple still conjoyned there.
Orontes, when those Bonds of Slumber broke,
Through Strangeness caus'd, contentful next, awoke.
Thus oft in Sleep what Things we fear and hate,
Or Love, Desire, strong Fancy doth create,
Form, represent; most tho where Thoughtful Mind,
Pensive, reserv'd; Remembrance more inclin'd.
