I-lOURS Ob' SORROW
Jn t'aec Sonnets —By a Lady.
SONNET I.
DESPAI 11.
ADIEU those fancy'd visionary joys,
When fortune fmil'J, and every bliss was
mine;
Alas! how chang'd the scene ! The flatt'ring voice
Of friends, salutes no snore with founds divine,
And thou, sweet hope~-but cruel nymph adieu,
Who once delufn ehad my heart brtray'd ;
Those pleasing trails which happier fancy drew,
By thy neglect eras'd, capricious maid.
I trace the step that thou hadft trod before,
Those (hades where once wiih thee I us'd to
stray ;
But now, alas ! thy taper guides no more,
Nor leads as once my sorrow darken'd day.
A!) ! then I quit thy treacherous form, tho' fair,
And, fad alternative ! I meet Despair !
SONNET 11.
THE INVOCATION
VTO loveliest fugitive again I woo,
IN \nd welcome to my heart thy Toothing lay
Thy devious step its wonted path renew,
And chear the lonely wanderer in her way
Why leave me thus, in fruitlefs sighs to momn ?
Why let thv vot'rv thus late vigils keep ?
Why when I languifti wilt thou not return ?
Come, gentle Hope, nor leave me e'er to weep.
Rife, generous, like the matin fun arise—
Regard my bark, in distant ocean toft,
To the rough Corsair a resistless prize—
Be thou my pilot, or the vettet's loft.
With thee though angry clouds the skies deform,
We'll ride at anchor fafe from every ftorni.
SONNET in
PRAYER TO PATIENCE.
WHILE in the fable dress of grief arrav'd,
With heart-felt sighs, I ruin's trophv form
Yet keep—Oh ! keep me, gentle, meek ey'd maid
Superior to the black impending storm,
Though mark'd alone for every woe severe—•
Almighty fate! thy fovcreign will he done ;
But teach me due fubmiflion while I heai,
Those ills I strive, but vainly strive to shun.
Divert the mind from every wild furpri/e—
Let si ber and difpaflion'd reason reign,
Or Fancy, with her magic forms arise,
To moderate and calm the f< nfe of pain.
But chief, O Goddess ! be mv humble prayer,
1 he weight of future sorrows to prevent ;
Throw o'er those poignant pangs that bring de
* fpair,
That fav'rite dress, thy mantle of content.
