REBUS.
[That awful name which oft inspires]
That awful name which oft inspiresImpatient hopes, and fond desires,
Can to another pain impart,
And thrill with fear the shudd'ring heart.
84
O'er the still chambers of the dead.
Say, what contains the breathless clay,
When the fleet soul is wing'd away?—
Those marble monuments proclaim
My little wily wanton's name.
TOMBS.
