318 And mild decorum's sober state On all her looks and actions wait, While mingled elegance and ease Made every look and action please; With feeling strong, with judgment clear, Firm probity and truth sincere; Thro' sorrow's clouds we saw her shine, Those clouds that made her yours and mine! Thus deck'd with every charm and grace, The loveliest of a lovely race; Like purest gold in fire refin'd, And rich in all the wealth of mind, Why did he tread the paths of pain, And seek for long-lost rest in vain? And why in vain did you and I Pour the soft balm of sympathy? With generous love the worthy youth To whom she vow'd her plighted truth, Too fondly hop'd from future harms To screen her in his faithful arms: But soon he finds he grasps a shade, And soon the transient roses fade, And soon dissolv'd in ambient light The beauteous vision quits his sight! Yet ere she sunk to endless rest, To soothe the anguish of his breast
