What means that doleful kncU from yniidfer fane, 

 Whofc mournful accents pierce my lift'ning tai ? 



Th'. folcnia peal now ftnkts my fenfe again. 

 And vibrates flowly through the placid air. 



My throhbing heart in quick diforder beaf>,

The fun'ral bell again the note repeats. 

 And fpreads the melancholy ftrain around. 



^ fiidden hormr deals upon the mind, 



And gamefonie frolic ftnps her wild cjrt'er ; 



E'en hcedlefs mirth a-whilc herfmilcs rcCgu'd, 

 VVith rigid brow affumes a fcrious air. 



" Ye fons of men this folemn fcene attend, 



" The mournful dirge proclaims in fancy's car, 



"Your thme is hourly pelting to an end, 



" Anddeafhwithev'rymoment IHU draws near."

 To keep youi roving heart confin'tJi
