      Prosetipine , in the prime of May , Awoke with earliest smile of < la \ vn , UnveilM her beauty to the day , Lively yet timid as a fawn . Nymphs , sporting round their lady , strew , In blooming Enna ' s fragrant vale , New flow ' rets , fresh with heavenly dew : No sound of death disturbs the gale . 111-favour'd Pluto ' hand unseen Seiz'd her , by stealth , to be his queen 1 *

      * Elyaii sponsa tyranni .

      Heave not a sigh to break the rest So calm and deep , and let no tear Fall on the pure and spotless vest Of innocence on its early bier . Raise not a wish to call her back To the dark and stormy scenes of time , Where sin had tainted soon the track Through which she passed to a happier clime .

      Bless'd , indeed , was her human story ; An angel mind in a mortal frame ; No ill could tarnish its native glory Ere called to God from whom it came . The spirit immortal , which here in vain , Perchance , with sorrow and sin had striven , Is blest beyond the reach of pain In the bosom of God , —the Father in Heav ' n .

      Then shed no tear , and heave no sigh , For the babe that rests on its quiet bed ; But fix thy sorrowing thoughts on high , And prepare to join the happy dead .
