Poems upon Several Occasions/37

by George Granville

To MYRA.

I.

SO calm and so serene but now,

What means this Change on Myra's Brow?
Her aguish Love now glows and burns,
Then chills and shakes, and the cold Fit returns.

II.

Mockt with deluding Looks and Smiles,

When on her Pity I depend,
My airy Hope she soon beguiles,
And laughs, to see my Torments never end.

III.

So up the steepy Hill with Pain

The weighty Stone is rowl'd in vain,
Which having touch'd the Top, recoils,
And leaves the Lab'rer to renew his Toils.
