FIN DU PARADIS PERDU

Our lingeriug parents, and to tlic' eastern gale Lcd thcm direct, and dowii tlie cliff as fast '"40 To tlie siibjectcd plaiu; tlicn disappcar'd.

Tliey, louking hack, ail the' eastern side bcheld Of paradise, so late their happy seat, Wav'd over hy that flaming brand; the gale VVitli dreadlnl laces tlirong'd, and fîery arnis. Some natiiral tears tliey dropt, but wiped tbein soon The world was ail belorc llicm , where to choose Their place ol rcst, and Providence their guide! They, hand in hand, wilh wandering steps and slow, Through liden took their solilary way.
