SONG XIX. ELIZA.
Ere fair Eliza's face I knew,
Contentment crown'd my cot;
My cares seem'd light, my wants were few,
Vain pomp I envied not:
The rosy hours flew swift away,
I pip'd with merry glee;
No lark that hail'd the rising day
Was half so gay or free.
Contentment crown'd my cot;
My cares seem'd light, my wants were few,
Vain pomp I envied not:
The rosy hours flew swift away,
I pip'd with merry glee;
No lark that hail'd the rising day
Was half so gay or free.
174
Remembrance paints the pleasing scene,
When first she won my heart;
Her beauteous face, her comely mein,
Shone unadorn'd by art:
Now lonely wand'ring thro' the grove,
This bosom fill'd with care,
I tune my pipe to hapless love,
And mourn my absent fair.
When first she won my heart;
Her beauteous face, her comely mein,
Shone unadorn'd by art:
Now lonely wand'ring thro' the grove,
This bosom fill'd with care,
I tune my pipe to hapless love,
And mourn my absent fair.
The wretch enslav'd on Afric's coast,
More freedom knows than I;
Content is fled, blest Peace is lost,
In vain I heave the sigh:
Come then, sweet Hope, and soothe my grief,
Thy smiles oft cheer my breast;
'Tis thou alone canst give relief,
And make a lover blest.
More freedom knows than I;
Content is fled, blest Peace is lost,
In vain I heave the sigh:
Come then, sweet Hope, and soothe my grief,
Thy smiles oft cheer my breast;
'Tis thou alone canst give relief,
And make a lover blest.
