THE DYING KID . SHEXSTONE . A tear bedews my Delia ' s eye , To think yon playful kid must die ; From crystal spring , and flowery mead , Must , in his prime of life , recede ! Erewhileis sportive circles round
, , She saw him wheel , and frisk , and bound ; From rock to rock pursue his way , Aud on the fearful margin play , Pleased on his various freaks to dwell , She saw him climb my rustic cell : Thence eye my lands with verdure bright , And all ravished afc the si
seem ght . She tells , with what delight he stood , To trace his features in the flood ; Then skipped aloof with quaint amaze , And then drew near again to gaze . She tells me how with speed
eager He flew , to hear my vocal reed ; Aud how with critic face profound , And sfcedfast ear , devoured the sound . His every frolic , light as air , Deserves the gentle Delia ' s care ; And tears bedew her tender /
eye To think fche playful kid must die . But knows my Delia , timely wise , How soon this blameless era flies ? AVhile violence and craft succeed / Unfair design , and ruthless deed !
