SONG.

TO ALMERIA.

1 THOUGH since I lov'd an age is flown,
2 The blissful hour you still postpone;
3 Ah! lovely Maid, no longer frown,
4 But each fond hope with rapture crown.
5 Nor think, though lur'd by Angel charms,
6 That Time will linger in thy arms;
7 Oh! no; his scythe shall crop the rose
8 That on thy cheek divinely blows.
9 But ere the russian riot there,
10 To Nature yield, enchanting fair;
11 Nor more my ardent wish reprove,
12 For know, Life's richest boon is Love.
