I. Adriani morientis ad Animam,
OR, The Heathen to his departing Soul.
Ah fleeting Spirit! wand'ring Fire,
That long hast warm'd my tender Breast,
Must thou no more this Frame inspire?
No more a pleasing, chearful Guest?
That long hast warm'd my tender Breast,
Must thou no more this Frame inspire?
No more a pleasing, chearful Guest?
Whither, ah whither art thou flying!
To what dark, undiscover'd Shore?
Thou seem'st all trembling, shivr'ing, dying,
And Wit and Humour are no more!
To what dark, undiscover'd Shore?
Thou seem'st all trembling, shivr'ing, dying,
And Wit and Humour are no more!
