5 Then come fair hope & whisper peace And keep the happy scenes in view When all these cares, & fears shall cease And Delia bless a love so true. 6 Hope, sweet deceiver still beleiv'd In many sent to soothe our care Oh tell me am I now deceiv'd And wilt thou leave me to despair. 7 Then hear ye powers, my earnest pray'r This pang unutterable, save Let me not live to know despair But give me quiet in the grave. 8 Why should I live to hate the light Be with myself at constant strife And drag about, in natures spite An useless, joyless, load of life. 9 But far from her all ills remove Your fav'rite care let Delia be, Long blest in freindship, blest in love And may she never think on me.
