Song 7. Colin's Complaint.
As the Bark when it parts from the shore
has scarce any distance between
yet at last by the Billows 'tis bore
where, alas! no more land's to be seen
has scarce any distance between
yet at last by the Billows 'tis bore
where, alas! no more land's to be seen
So from virtue when once we remove
we attempt to return, but in vain
by the current of vice we are drove
'till we founder at length in the main.
