To MIRA.
[Lost in a Labyrinth of Doubts and Joys]
Lost in a Labyrinth of Doubts and Joys,Whom now her Smiles reviv'd, her Scorn destroys:
She will, and she will not, she grants, denies,
Consents, retracts, advances, and then flies,
66
Now proff'ring Mercy, now presenting Death.
Thus hoping, thus despairing, never sure,
How various are the Torments I endure!
Cruel Estate of Doubt! Ah, Mira, try
Once to resolve—or let me live, or die.
