The Hive<br />
(Vol. 2) 39<br />
[Untitled] 40<br />
[p.] 39 See, see She wakes, Sabina wakes!<br />
And now the Sun begins to rise;<br />
Less glorious is the Morn that breaks<br />
From his bright Beams than her fair Eyes.<br />
With Light united, Day they give,<br />
But different Fates e’er night fulfill;<br />
How many by His Warmth will Live?<br />
How many will Her Coldness Kill!<br />
[Untitled] 41<br />
Clarinda, the Pride of the Plain,<br />
So fam’d for her conquering Charms,<br />
Repenting her Scorn of a Swain.<br />
Sat pensive, and folded her arms.<br />
Her Lute, and her shining attire,<br />
Neglected were laid at her side;<br />
While pining with helpless Desire,<br />
The Damsel thus mournfully cried.<br />
Oh! could the past Hours but return,<br />
When I triumphed in Angelot’s Heart,<br />
Clarinda would mutually burn,<br />
Would mutually suffer the smart.<br />
