DR. DARWIN. IO7 



Soon after the compofition of thefe gallant 

 verfes to Mrs. Pole, circumstances arofe 

 \\hich gave rife to the following ode, not 

 lefs beautiful, though much lefs gay. 



Fly, gentle deeds ! o'er yon unfriendly towers 

 Malignant tfars, with baleful influence reign j 



Cold Beauty's frown infers the cheerlefs hours, 

 And Avarice dwells in Love's polluted fane ! 



Dim, diflant towers ! whofe ample roof protects 

 All that my beating bofom holds fo dear, 



Far fhining lake I whofe lilver wave reflects 

 Of Nature's faireft forms, the form moft fair j 



Groves, where at noon the ileeping Beauty lies ; 



Lawns, where at eve her graceful footfieps rove; 

 For ye full oft have heard my fecret figbs, 



And caught unfeen, the tear of hopelefs lovej 



Farewell ! a long farewell ! your (hades among 

 No more thefe. eyes fhall diink Eliza's charms 5 



No more thefe ears the mulic of her tongue ! 

 O ! doom'd for ever to another's arms ! 



Fly,
