Subject(s): Love


'MIDST Beauty and Pleasure's gay triumphs, to languish
And droop without knowing the source of my anguish:
To start from short slumbers, and look for the morning--
Yet close my dull eyes when I see it returning;
Sighs sudden and frequent, looks ever dejected
Sounds that steal from my tongue, by no meaning connected!
Ah say, Fellow-swains, how these symptoms befell me?
They smile, but reply not. Sure Delia will tell me!
