ear, yet tears still fill his eyes:
Now Mornay calls, now tender love retains;
He goes, returns, and going still remains:
But when she languish'd in his last embrace,
345 Colour and life forsook her lovely face,
A sudden night obsur'd her radiant eyes:
The God beheld--air echo'd with his cries;
He trembled that the envious shades of night
Should rob his empire of a nymph so bright,
350 And quench for ever 'mid th' unfeeling dead,
The flame those heav'nly eyes were form'd to spread;
He prest the drooping beauty in his arms;
With gentle sound recall'd her faded charms;
Her eyes half open'd, sought her love in vain,
355 His name she sigh'd, and dropp'd their lids again.
To life, to love, the god recall'd the fair,
And bid young Hope repeat the tender pray'r.
But Mornay's soul, nor grief, nor beauty move,
Virtue and glory triumph over love:
360 The vanquish'd God, with sullen shame withdrew,
And far from Anet's domes indignant flew.

FINIS.
