An Imitation Of Theocritus	A
	-
To Madame De La M sang re	B
	-
Offspring of her to whom to day	B
While from thy lovely self away	B
A thousand hearts their homage pay	B
Besides the throngs whom friendship binds to please	A
And some whom love presents thee on their knees	A
A mandate which I cannot thrust aside	C
Between you both impels me to divide	C
Some of the incense which the dews distil	D
Upon the roses of a sacred hill	D
And which by secret of my trade	E
Is sweet and most delicious made	E
To you I say but all to say	B
Would task me far beyond my day	B
I need judiciously to choose	A
Thus husbanding my voice and muse	A
Whose strength and leisure soon would fail	F
I'll only praise your tender heart and hale	F
Exalted feelings wit and grace	A
In which there's none can claim a higher place	A
Excepting her whose praise is your entail	F
Let not too many thorns forbid to touch	G
These roses I may call them such	G
If Love should ever say as much	G
By him it will be better said indeed	H
And they who his advices will not heed	H
Scourge fearfully will he	I
As you shall shortly see	I
	-
A blooming miracle of yore	J
Despised his godship's sovereign power	K
They call'd her name Alcimadure	K
A haughty creature fierce and wild	L
She sported Nature's tameless child	L
Rough paths her wayward feet would lead	M
To darkest glens of mossy trees	A
Or she would dance on daisied mead	H
With nought of law but her caprice	A
A fairer could not be	I
Nor crueller than she	I
Still charming in her sternest mien	N
E'en when her haughty look debarr'd	H
What had she been to lover in	O
The fortress of her kind regard	H
Daphnis a high born shepherd swain	P
Had loved this maiden to his bane	P
Not one regardful look or smile	Q
Nor e'en a gracious word the while	Q
Relieved the fierceness of his pain	P
O'erwearied with a suit so vain	P
His hope was but to die	H
No power had he to fly	H
He sought impell'd by dark despair	K
The portals of the cruel fair	K
Alas the winds his only listeners were	K
The mistress gave no entrance there	K
No entrance to the palace where	K
Ingrate against her natal day	H
She join'd the treasures sweet and gay	H
In garden or in wild wood grown	R
To blooming beauty all her own	R
'I hoped ' he cried	H
'Before your eyes I should have died	H
But ah too deeply I have won your hate	H
Nor should it be surprising news	A
To me that you should now refuse	A
To lighten thus my cruel fate	H
My sire when I shall be no more	K
Is charged to lay your feet before	K
The heritage your heart neglected	H
With this my pasturage shall be connected	H
My trusty dog and all that he protected	H
And of my goods which then remain	P
My mourning friends shall rear a fane	P
There shall your image stand midst rosy bowers	A
Reviving through the ceaseless hours	A
An altar built of living flowers	A
Near by my simple monument	H
Shall this short epitaph present	H
Here Daphnis died of love Stop passenger	K
And say thou with a falling tear	K
This youth here fell unable to endure	K
The ban of proud Alcimadure '	-
	-
He would have added but his heart	H
Now felt the last the fatal dart	H
Forth march'd the maid in triumph deck'd	H
And of his murder little reck'd	H
In vain her steps her own attendants check'd	H
And plead	H
That she at least should shed	H
Upon her lover dead	H
Some tears of due respect	H
The rosy god of Cytherea born	S
She ever treated with the deepest scorn	S
Contemning him his laws and means of damage	T
She drew her train to dance around his image	T
When woful to relate	H
The statue fell and crush'd her with its weight	H
A voice forth issued from a cloud	H
And echo bore the words aloud	H
Throughout the air wide spread	H
Let all now love the insensible is dead	H
Meanwhile down to the Stygian tide	H
The shade of Daphnis hied	H
And quaked and wonder'd there to meet	H
The maid a ghostess at his feet	H
All Erebus awaken'd wide	H
To hear that beauteous homicide	H
Beg pardon of the swain who died	H
For being deaf to love confess'd	H
As was Ulysses to the prayer	K
Of Ajax begging him to spare	K
Or as was Dido's faithless guest	H
