Lo, thro’ her works gay nature grieves How brief she is and frail, As ever o’er the falling leaves Autumnal winds prevail. Yet still the philosophic mind Consolatory food can find, And hope her anchorage maintain: We never are deserted quite; ’Tis by succession of delight That love supports his reign.
