ABSENCE.

(proves,
LAS, what Pains, what racking Thoughts he
Who lives retir'd from her he dearest loves,
In cruel Abfence doom'd paft Joys to mourn,
And think on Hours that will no more return!
Oh! let me ne'er the Pangs of Abscence try;
Save me from Abfence, Love, or let me die.

Iall Things but thy Abfence can endure;
That's a Difcafe which Death alone must cure:

Let me no longer pin'd in Absence lie ;.

Rather than live without you, let me die.

(Cong.

Car: Ovid.

Oh! can you think that Death is half so dreadful, As 'tis for me to live, and live without thee. Smish.Phæd.& Life of it felf will go now thou art gone,

Like Flies in Winter, when they lofe the Sun.

(Hip.

Dryd. Conq.of Gram. p. 17

She's gone, and I like my own Ghost appear:

(p.1.

It is not living when the is not here. Dryd.Conq of Gran,
Without her Prefence all my Joys are vain;
Empire a Curfe, and Life it felf a Pain. Dr. Cong. of Gran.

B:

Paftimes

A B

Paftimes and Wine, which Verse inspire,
Are ufelefs all, now you are gone:
Untun'd is both my Mind and Lyre,
And in full Courts I feem alone:
The Relifh you to my Enjoyments give;

And Life, depriv'd of you, can hardly live. Chetw. Hor.
Since from my dear Aftræa Sight
I was fo rudely torn; ·

My Soul has never known Delight,
Unless it was to mourn:

But oh! alas! with weeping Eyes
And bleeding Heart I lie,

Thinking on her, whofe Abfence 'tis,
That makes me wifh to die.

Buck.

No Joy but you, no Life but yours I own;

I muft furvive my felf, when you are gone:
If you withdraw your Light, how black a Shade
Muft the fad Region of my Breast invade!

The World's a Heav'n to me, when you are here;
And Heav'n will be more Heav'n to meet you there. Blac.
Heav'n is not but where Emily abides; (K. Arth.
And, where fhe's abfent, all is Hell befides. Dryd. Pal.& Arc..
No Tongue my Pleasure nor my Pain can tell :

'Tis Heav'nto have thee, and without thee Hell. Otw.Orph. With thee to live is Paradife alone;

Without the Pleafure of thy Sight is none. Dryd. State of Inn,
The Trees are wither'd all, fince thou art gone,
As if for thee they put their Mourning on. Scrope. Ovid.
For thee the fading Trees appear to mourn;
And Birds defer their Songs till thy Return. Pope Ovid.
Parch'd are the Plains, and frying is the Field;
Nor with'ring Vines their juicy Vintage yield:
But if returning Phyllis blefs the Plain,

The Grafs revives, the Woods are green again;

And Jove defcends in Show'rs of kindly Rain. Dryd.Virg.
But, if Alexis from our Mountains fly,

Ev'n running Rivers leave their Channels dry. Dryd. Virg.
For him the feather'd Choirs neglect their Song;
For him the Limes their pleafing Shades deny;
For him the Lillies hang their Heads, and die:
Ye Flow'rs, that droop, forfaken by the Spring;
Ye Birds, that, left by Summer, cease to ling;
Ye Trees, that fade, when Autumn's Heats remove;
Say, Is not Abfence Death to those who love Pope.
When fordd from Delia's Sight,
Nor Plaies at Morn, nor Groves at Noon delight:
