| <poem>
| |
| I. Thy hand, Belinda, darkness shades me;
| |
| On thy bosom let me rest.
| |
| More I would, but death invades me:
| |
| Death is now a welcome guest.
| |
| When I am laid in earth,
| |
| May my wrongs create
| |
| No trouble in thy breast.
| |
| Remember me, but ah! forget my fate.
| |
| | |
| II. With drooping wings ye cupids come,
| |
| and scatter roses on her tomb,
| |
| soft and gentle as her heart;
| |
| Keep here your watch, and never part.
