284 Nor mourn thy banish'd EDWIN’s fate, Though far remov'd from hope and thee; Nor pining view with vain regret Unerring Wisdom's stern decree. Though filial love thy tenderest sorrows claim; And every virtue brighten EDWIN'S name. While Wisdom sways thy EDWIN'S breast, And fancy strews his path with flowers, Although by hopeless love deprest, The pensive pleasures haunt his bowers. And where the myrtle and the willow twine, He rears a mossy seat, and fondly calls it thine. When filial duty sway'd thy heart, And bade thee EDWIN'S vows decline, With sad reluctance see him part, And every tender wish resign: With weeping admiration I beheld, And sadly triumph'd while my friend excell'd. Let Grecia boast the duteous dame Whose breast sustain'd her captive sire; The Muses consecrate her name, And crowds her pictur'd form admire: With conscious pride, heroic maid, I see The Grecian daughter far outshone by thee!
