First Line: When eastern lovers feed the fun'ral fire
Last Line: Sent his own lightning, and the victims seiz'd.
Subject(s): Love
When Eastern lovers feed the fun'ral fire,
On the same pile the faithful fair expire;
Here pitying heav'n that virtue mutual found,
And blasted both, that it might neither wound.
Hearts so sincere th' Almighty saw well pleas'd,
Sent his own lightning, and the Victims seiz'd.
