THE POWER OF LOVE.

TO ROBERT BERKELEY, ESQ. JUNIOR, OF SPETCHLEY PARK, WORCESTERSHIRE.

1 ALTHOUGH the Muse in ev'ry age
2 With Cupid's wreath has deck'd her page,
3 And, tutor'd by the wily boy,
4 Has tun'd her lyre to themes of joy.
5 Yet History, sweet recording maid,
6 By Truth allur'd, forsakes the shade;
7 And as adown the stream of time
8 She steers her course with port sublime,
9 She pausing points to many a grave,
10 Where, Love, thy willows weep and wave,
11 Through sad Voclusa pensive strays,
12 And Nature's tender tribute pays.
