“Tho’ sickness yet a while forbears, Yet time destroys what sickness spares; Now Helen lives alone in fame And Cleopatra's but a name; Time must indent that heav'nly brow, And thou must be what they are now. This moral to the fair disclose, Queen of fragrance, lovely rose.”

“Sure never pain such beauty wore, Or look’d so amiable before!”

“But see! the pains begin to fly; Tho’ Venus bled she could not die: See the new phœnix point her eyes, And lovelier from her ashes rise.”

“Brighter from her disease she shines, As fire the precious gold refines. Thus when the silent grave becomes Pregnant with life as fruitful wombs; When the wide seas and spacious earth Resign us to our second birth; Our moulder’d frame rebuilt assumes New beauty, and for ever blooms, And, crown’d with youth’s immortal pride, We angels rise, who mortals died.”
