IMITATION OF LINES

WRITTEN BY ROUCHER,
* Author of a Poem called Les Mois.
BELOW HIS PICTURE, WHICH A FELLOW-PRISONER HAD DRAWN, AND WHICH HE SENT TO HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN THE DAY BEFORE HIS EXECUTION. 1794.

1 Lov'd objects! cease to wonder when ye trace
2 The melancholy air that clouds my face;
3 Ah! while the Painter's skill this image drew,
4 They rear'd the Scaffold, and I thought of you!
