A Pastoral Ode.
[Coy Cæla dost thou see]
Coy Cæla dost thou seeYon hollow mountain tottering o're the plain,
O're which a fatall Tree
With treacherous shade betrayes the sleepy swain?
Beneath it is a Cell,
As full of horror as my breast of care,
Ruine therein might dwell,
69
Thence will I headlong throw
This wretched weight, this heap of misery;
And in the dust below,
Bury my Carcasse; and the thought of thee:
Which when I finisht have,
O hate me dead as thou hast done alive;
And come not neare my grave
Least I take heat from thee, and so revive.
