SONG. The Fair Traveller.

I

In young ASTREA's sparkling Eye,
Resistless LOVE has fix'd his Throne;
A thousand Lovers bleeding lie
For Her, with Wounds they fear to own.

II

While the coy Beauty speeds her Flight
To distant Groves from whence she came;
So Lightning vanishes from Sight,
But leaves the Forest in a Flame!
