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 />
