The rival affection urges

"Yea, but here

Thy feet have stray'd in after hours

With thy lost friend among the bowers,

And this hath made them trebly dear."

Through half the day each one prefers a separate appeal by endearing

circumstance; but the contest affords no superiority to either; and, as

the Poet turns away from the illusion,

"They mix in one another's arms

To one pure image of regret."

This picture is very beautiful.
