No bush shall boast in all the grove
So fond a mate, so blest a wife.
O fairest of the feather’d train!
For whom I sing, for whom I burn,
Attend with pity to my strain,
And grant my love a kind return.
With leaden foot Time creeps along
While Delia is away:
With her, nor plaintive was the song,
Nor tedious was the day.
Ah, envious Pow’r! reverse my doom;
Now double thy career,
Strain ev’ry nerve, stretch ev’ry plume,
And rest them when she’s here!
