73 ‘Tis wrong to stay, but doubly hard to go, A while he pauses – lost in tender woe: “And shall I, helpless, friendless, leave the maid “Whose pitying care my feeble steps convey’d? “Whose gentle aid my fainting heart restor’d, “Oh, where I of this lake’s fair borders loard; “Had I the joys of wealth, without its care, “Those joys, that wealth, my lovely maid should share.” The new sensation swelling in his heart, Inspir’d the untaught swain with sudden art; And thus in cautious Wisdom’s solemn guise, To veil his latent purpose FARQUHAR tries: First to the courteous matron bending low,- “You, to whose care my rescu’d life I owe, “Whose tender fears your absent friends deplore, “May heaven triumphant soon those friends restore! “Yet while their standard flies on Southern plains, “To till your fields no manly hand remains; “The coming Spring will soon your cares engage, “With toils unfit for childhood or for age: “So short the freezing day, so deep the snow, “No cattle o’er the mountain path can go. “Warm shelter’d in yon bushy glen behind, “My steers repose, and food and safety find; “But when relenting Spring shall smile a-new, “Again your hospitable hearth I’ll view;
