How shall I lure thee to my haunts forlorn? For me wilt thou renew the wither'd rose, And clear my painful path of pointed thorn? Ah, come sweet nymph! in smiles and softness drest, Like the young hours that lead the tender year.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
