Lines To Daphne,

Music warbled from the sprays . Does the mom appear less bri ght > With less beauty chear . the . si ° » ht ? Do the choicest of the wino-Less sweetly warble , sweetly s ! n ° - ? Did ybu not admires the . groves , ^ Envied scenes of lvan loves ?

Do the lambkins sport it less ? You the cause , my fair , can guess : - My bleaters saw their mistress near , Now she ceases them . to . cheat ; In wanton play , as heretofore , IXtp . luie . fled , . they ' re seen no more : You forget the . merry dance , Often d b
