Not the slow Hearse, where nod the sable plumes, ____The Parian Statue, bending o'er the Urn, ____The dark robe floating, the dejection worn ____On the dropt eye, and lip no smile illumes; Not all this pomp of sorrow, that presumes ____It pays Affection's debt, is due concern ____To the FOR EVER ABSENT, tho' it mournFashion's allotted time. If Time consumes, While Life is ours, the precious vestal-flame ____Memory shou'd hourly feed;__f, thro' each day, ____She with whate'er we see, hear, think, or say, Blend not the image of the vanish'd Frame, ____O! can the alien Heart expect to prove, In worlds of light and life, a reunited love!
