Poems on Several Occasions | ||
At taking Leave of a Lady, who was reading Norris's Poems.
Madam, observe these melancholy Tales,And see how Grief o'er generous Minds prevails;
See there the Reverend Norris drown'd in Tears,
Robb'd of the Joy of all his future Years.
With strict Attention read each tender Line,
And as you read, think all his Suff'rings mine.
88
And view your self with just Perfection drest:
Such was the Nymph, to whom his Tears were due,
And such his Sorrows, as I feel for you.
