Unhappy fair by fatal love betray'd Must then thy beauties thus untimely fade? And all thy blooming soft inspiring charms Become a prey to death's destructive arms? Tho' short thy day & transient like the wind How far more blest than those yet left behind Safe in the grave, thy greifs with thee remain, And lifes tempestuous billows break in vain Ye tender nymphs in lawless pastime gay With heedless down the paths of pleasure stray; Tho long secure with blissful joy elate Yet pause & think of Arabella's fate For such may be your unexpected doom And your next slumbers lull you in the tomb.
