Lovely Nymph

Lovely nymph now cease to languish, Yield not thus thy mind to woe; Look behind the cloud of anguish, Chearing beams of comfort blow, Chearing beams of comfort blow.

Let enliv'ning hope elate thee, Hope that points to fairer skies; Think the transient ills that wait thee, Are but blessings in disguise. Are but, &c.

Be not by distress dejected: Shrink not from affliction's hand; Falshood is from truth detected, By the kind enchantress wand. By the kind, &c.

Sage instructress, she shall train thee; Steady virtue teach thy heart; Short, but short liv'd, pains await thee, Endless blessings to impart, Endless blessings to impart.
