X.

And hark, in Albion's flow'ry vale

A parent's deep complaint I hear!

A sister calls the western gale

To waft her soul-expressive tear;

'Tis Asgill claims that piercing sigh,

That drop which dims the beauteous eye,

While on the rack of Doubt Affection proves

How strong the force which binds the ties she loves.
