New strains ere long shall animate thy frame. Come, for thou oft thy suppliant's vow hast heard Love wreathes thy flowery ways with fatal snare. Fame's trump in thunder shall announce thy praise, The voice of Nature Heaven ordain'd thy guide. But why should Virtue doom thy years to toil? Be taught, vain man, how fleeting all thy joys, Thy zeal for truth, and love of human kind. Why, lady, wilt thou bind thy lovely brow Thy consulship these happy times shall prove, No nymph of heavenly birth shall crown thy love, Each year we shall present before thy shrine, So long shall last thine honours and thy fame, So long the shepherds shall resound thy name. Thy tales and sangs by heart shall learn, ./cache/41760.txt ./txt/41760.txt
