The ear of fond attention drew
Still is that heart, which constant beat
To every gentle virtue true.

I-As when the silent queen of night,
By silvery clouds surrounded beams,
She does not vanish from our sight
But to the eye, still lovlier seems.
II-So round the dead does memory fling
A Halo, which endears them more;
And cherish feelings fondly cling
To what seems lovlier than before.
