SONG.
I
Why sighs my dear friend from the depth of his soul,While Nectar looks over the brim of the bowl?
That grief out of season, now prythee, forbear,
And sigh when the bottom begins to appear.
149
II
Alas! poor companion, and is the case so?I now find the real sad source of thy woe,
Like smoak those dull sighs from a burning heart came,
Haste, pour down a bumper, and put out the flame.
