[From Lovers Eyes, this Torrent takes its Source]
From Lovers Eyes, this Torrent takes its Source,
Whose streaming Tears, its rapid Channel fill;
And down the Rock precipitates its Course,
Whilst, with its Fall, resounds each neighb'ring Hill.
Its flowing Streams soften the hardest Stone;
Its plaintive Murmurs fill the Woods around,
Stern Cruelty remains unmov'd alone,
Whilst Trees and Rocks, are melted with the Sound.
Whose streaming Tears, its rapid Channel fill;
And down the Rock precipitates its Course,
Whilst, with its Fall, resounds each neighb'ring Hill.
Its flowing Streams soften the hardest Stone;
Its plaintive Murmurs fill the Woods around,
Stern Cruelty remains unmov'd alone,
Whilst Trees and Rocks, are melted with the Sound.
