SCENE IV.

Telemachus.
Can Death alarm me?—Do I dream?
Or did I tast the wondrous Juice
That can bestow
Celestial Youth and ever blooming Joy?—
Alas!—still mortal Sorrow pains me.
O Eucharis!—O only Fair!
If I must live, yet losing thee,
Take back th'immortal cruel Gift,
And let me die—or still be happy.
50

Hear me, Love, my Sorrows ending;
While I wander thro' this Shade,
Venus, with thy Doves descending,
Guide me to the beauteous Maid.
All ye smiling Loves attending
Come in pity to my Aid.
Hear me, Love, my Sorrows ending;
While I wander thro' this Shade,
Venus, with thy Doves descending,
Guide me to the beauteous Maid.
