[Music ]
BRight was the Morning, cool was the Air,
Serene was all the Sky;
When on the Waves I left my dear,
The Center of my joy:
Heaven and Nature smiling were,
And nothing sad but I.
Each Rosie Field did Odours spread,
All Fragrant was the shore;
Each River God rose from his Bed,
And sigh'd and own'd her power:
Curling their Waves they deck'd their heads,
As proud of what they bore.
So when the fair Egyptian Queen, Her Heroe went to see; Cidnus swell'd o'er his Banks in pride, As much in Love as he: Cidnus swell'd, &c.
Glide on ye waters, bear these lines,
And tell her how distress'd;
Bear all my sighs ye gentle winds,
And waft 'em to her Breast:
Tell her if e'er she prove unkind,
I never shall have rest.
