THE FAREWELL.
9 lines✦
The valiant, in himself, what can he suffer?Or what does he regard his single woes?But when, alas! he multiplies himself,To dearer selves, to the lov'd tender fair,The those whose bliss, whose beings hang upon him,To helpless children! then, O then! he feelsThe point of misery fest'ring in his heart,And weakly weeps his fortune like a coward.Such, such am I! undone."
