- thy woes compared to mine ? To thee thy mistress in the blissful band Of Hymen never gave her hand j The joys of wedded love were never thine. 100 In thy domestic care She never bore a share, Nor with endearing art Would heal thy wounded heart Of every secret grief that fester'd there : Nor did her fond affection on the bed Of sickness watch thee, and thy languid head Whole nights on her unwearied arm sustain, And charm away the sense of pain : Nor did she crown your mutual flame With pledges... dear, and with a father's tender name. O best of wives ! O dearer far to me Than when thy virgin charms Were yielded to my arras, How can my soul endure the loss of thee ? How in the world, to me a desert grown, Abandon'd and alone, Without my sweet companion can 1 live ? Without thy lovely smile, The dear reward of every virtuous toil, What pleasures now can pall'd Ambition give ? E'en the delightful sense of well-earn'd praise, Unshar'd by thee, no more my lifeless thoughts could raise. 101 For my distracted mind What succour can I find ?
