And you, brave Cobham! to the latest breath
Shall feel your ruling passion strong in death.

Line after line my gushing eye o'erflow,
Led thro' a said variety of woe:
Now warm in read more
Line after line my gushing eye o'erflow,
Led thro' a said variety of woe:
Now warm in love, now with'ring in my bloom,
Lost in a convent's solitary gloom!

Hills peep o'er hills, and Alps on Alps arise.
Banished the doctor, and expell'd the friend.
Banished the doctor, and expell'd the friend.
Lull'd by soft zephyrs thro' the broken pane.

To hide the fault I see:
That mercy I to others show,
That mercy show to me.
To hide the fault I see:
That mercy I to others show,
That mercy show to me.
The difference is as great between
The optics seeing as the objects seen.

The difference is as great between
The optics seeing as the objects seen.

Or come discolor'd through out passions shown;
Or fancy's beam enlarges, multiplies,
Contracts, inverts, and gives ten thousand dyes.
E'en Sunday shines no Sabbath day to me.
E'en Sunday shines no Sabbath day to me.
