EPIGRAM III. ON THE SON OF CLEËNOR.
Thee, Cleënorides, the bold, the brave,Stern Neptune sunk beneath the whelming Wave:
Thy Country's Love so nobly fill'd thy Mind,
Thou dar'dst to trust, too credulous, the Wind:
The fair, though faithless, Season urg'd thy Doom,
And wrapp'd thy Beauties in a watery Tomb.
