VII. Let his crook be with hyacinths bound, Let his forehead with laurels be crown'd, IV. DISAPPOINTMENT. I. E fhepherds give ear to my lay, YE And take no more heed of my sheep They have nothing to do, but to ftray; I have nothing to do, but to weep. Yet do not my folly reprove; She was fair-and my paffion begun; She fmil'd-and I could not but love; She is faithlefs and I am undone. II. Perhaps I was void of all thought; Perhaps it was plain to forfee, That a nymph fo compleat would be fought It banishes wifdom the while; And the lip of the nymph we admire III. She is faithlefs, and I am undone; Ye that witness the woes I endure, Let reason inftruct you to fhun What it cannot inftruct you to cure. Beware how ye loiter in vain Amid nymphs of an higher degree: It is not for me to explain How fair, and how fickle they be. Alas! from the day that we met, The glance that undid my repofe. The flow'r, and the shrub, and the tree, Which I rear'd for her pleasure in vain, In time may have comfort for me. V. The sweets of a dew-fprinkled rofe, The found of a murmuring stream, The peace which from folitude flows, Henceforth fhall be Corydon's theme. High tranfports are fhewn to the fight, But we are not to find them our own; 1 Fate never beftow'd fuch delight, As I with my Phyllis had known. VI. O ye woods, spread your branches apace ; I would hide with the beafts of the chace; Yet my reed fhall refound thro' the grove With the fame fad complaint it begun ; 00000 INDEX to the Fourth Volume.
