HINC LACHRIMAE; OR THE AUTHOR TO AURORA: 9, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Wouldst thou but think with what entire delight
Last Line: Yet use me gently, 'cause thou knowst I'm thine.
Alternate Author Name(s): William Boxworth


Wouldst thou but think with what entire delight
My soul was carried to those joys, and whither;
Wouldst thou but think how strong we did unite
Into one bond our mutual loves together;
Wouldst thou but reconcile thy wand'ring sense,
And cease t' afflict with thy impartial eyes;
Wouldst thou but hear the prayer which I commence,
One show'r might cherish yet the root which dies.
But thou art wise, and canst thy worth refine,
Yet use me gently, 'cause thou knowst I'm thine.
