[As when upon the Mountain-Heads]

As when upon the Mountain-Heads
The Sun his Golden Splendor spreads,
And with a sudden Spring of Light,
Extinguishes the dazled Sight;
Or as the Diamond's various Ray
Reflects, with keener Beams, the Day;
139

Thy radiant Charms with gay Surprize,
Fair Moor, attract and wound my Eyes;
And cruel Love's contagious Dart
Is fix'd, and festers in my Heart.
