On Beautiful Youth, a rictim q fConsumf'


ton.
Fair Youth! remembrance of thy state,
When health sat on thy face.
Now makes more poignant beauty's fate;
For, fled has ev'ry grace.
What pity but some Lcthean stream,
Would cause forgetfulness
Nor like Mcnestho, waking dream.
OF that which once could bless.
But like Narcssus, thou art doom'd
To pine away in griefi
Nor yet, like him, sgain b ,bloomd
In datfodilla's leaf.
Hygeia cannot e'er restore
Thy former blush ofhealth;
Nor all the sweets of Hybla's shore;
Nor all the Gods Of wealth.
No-Geasinius cannot give
Thy wanted smiles and mirth:
Fate has ordain'd thou shalt not i've,
But seek thy native Garth.
Pandora's box, It's said, contains
Hope under all its ills;
Yet hope with thee to cheer retralns,~-
Her smile thy bosom kills.
