LOVE'S HERMIT.
RONDEAU.—Orlando.
Love's Hermit, I dwell in this solitude lone,Dear Beauty's sweet image, the saint of my vows;
Night and morn, sighs and tears my devotion make known,
My hopes still that she my fond cause will espouse.
Hymen's altar the shrine, where my pray'rs I would raise,
In sonnets my orisons daily I sigh;
My tears, the fond beads I still tell to her praise;
Her arms the blest heaven for which I would die.
And vainly does reason my worship reprove,
There's no rest but with Beauty, for Hermits of Love.
Love's Hermit, &c.
