Two doves once cherish'd for each other	A
The love that brother hath for brother	A
But one of scenes domestic tiring	B
To see the foreign world aspiring	B
Was fool enough to undertake	C
A journey long o'er land and lake	C
'What plan is this ' the other cried	D
'Wouldst quit so soon thy brother's side	D
This absence is the worst of ills	E
Thy heart may bear but me it kills	E
Pray let the dangers toil and care	F
Of which all travellers tell	G
Your courage somewhat quell	G
Still if the season later were	A
O wait the zephyrs hasten not	H
Just now the raven on his oak	I
In hoarser tones than usual spoke	I
My heart forebodes the saddest lot	H
The falcons nets Alas it rains	J
My brother are thy wants supplied	D
Provisions shelter pocket guide	D
And all that unto health pertains '	K
These words occasion'd some demur	A
In our imprudent traveller	A
But restless curiosity	L
Prevail'd at last and so said he	L
'The matter is not worth a sigh	M
Three days at most will satisfy	M
And then returning I shall tell	G
You all the wonders that befell	G
With scenes enchanting and sublime	N
Shall sweeten all our coming time	N
Who seeth nought hath nought to say	O
My travel's course from day to day	O
Will be the source of great delight	P
A store of tales I shall relate	Q
Say there I lodged at such a date	Q
And saw there such and such a sight	P
You'll think it all occurr'd to you '	K
On this both weeping bade adieu	R
Away the lonely wanderer flew	R
A thunder cloud began to lower	A
He sought as shelter from the shower	A
The only tree that graced the plain	S
Whose leaves ill turn'd the pelting rain	S
The sky once more serene above	T
On flew our drench'd and dripping dove	T
And dried his plumage as he could	U
Next on the borders of a wood	U
He spied some scatter'd grains of wheat	V
Which one he thought might safely eat	V
For there another dove he saw	W
He felt the snare around him draw	W
This wheat was but a treacherous bait	Q
To lure poor pigeons to their fate	Q
The snare had been so long in use	X
With beak and wings he struggled loose	X
Some feathers perish'd while it stuck	Y
But what was worst in point of luck	Y
A hawk the cruellest of foes	Z
Perceived him clearly as he rose	Z
Off dragging like a runaway	O
A piece of string The bird of prey	O
Had bound him in a moment more	A2
Much faster than he was before	A2
But from the clouds an eagle came	B2
And made the hawk himself his game	B2
By war of robbers profiting	B
The dove for safety plied the wing	B
And lighting on a ruin'd wall	C2
Believed his dangers ended all	C2
A roguish boy had there a sling	B
Age pitiless	D2
We must confess	E2
And by a most unlucky fling	B
Half kill'd our hapless dove	T
Who now no more in love	T
With foreign travelling	B
And lame in leg and wing	B
Straight homeward urged his crippled flight	P
Fatigued but glad arrived at night	P
In truly sad and piteous plight	P
The doves rejoin'd I leave you all to say	O
What pleasure might their pains repay	O
Ah happy lovers would you roam	F2
Pray let it not be far from home	F2
To each the other ought to be	L
A world of beauty ever new	R
In each the other ought to see	L
The whole of what is good and true	R
	-
Myself have loved nor would I then	G2
For all the wealth of crown d men	G2
Or arch celestial paved with gold	H2
The presence of those woods have sold	H2
And fields and banks and hillocks which	I2
Were by the joyful steps made rich	I2
And smiled beneath the charming eyes	J2
Of her who made my heart a prize	J2
To whom I pledged it nothing loath	K2
And seal'd the pledge with virgin oath	K2
Ah when will time such moments bring again	G2
To me are sweet and charming objects vain	S
My soul forsaking to its restless mood	L2
O did my wither'd heart but dare	F
To kindle for the bright and good	U
Should not I find the charm still there	F
Is love to me with things that were	A
