O! it came o'er my ear like the fweet fouth,

That breathes upon a bank of violets
Stealing and giving odour!

His eye begets occafion for his wit;
For every object that the one doth catch,
The other turns to a mirth-moving jeft,
Which he delivers in fuch gracious words,
That aged ears play truant at his tales
So fweet and voluble is his difcourfe.

Poor honeft lord, brought low by his own heart,
Undone by goodness: ftrange, unufual blood.
When man's worft fin is, he does too much good,
Who then dares to be half fo kind again!
For bounty, that makes gods, does still marr men,
My dearest lord.

So madly hot that no discourse of reason,
Nor fear of bad fuccefs in a bad caufe

Can qualify the fame ?
