The terrible behests of law ;
And the last scene of Jemmy's woes
With calm and steadfast eye she saw.

Which she had fondly lov'd fo long:
And ftifled was that tuneful breath,

On which her love-fick head repos'd:

She bore this conftant heart to fee ; But when 'twas moulder'd into duft, fhe cried, I'll follow thee.

Now, now,

My death, my

death alone can show

The pure and lasting love I bore:

Accept, O heaven, of woes like ours,

And let us, let us weep no more.

The lover's mournful hearfe retir'd ;
The maid drew back her languid head,
And fighing forth his name, expir'd.
