Chapter 14 ON THE DEATH OF AMYNTAS.

A PASTORAL ELEGY.

'Twas on a joyless and a gloomy morn,

Wet was the grass, and hung with pearls the thorn;

When Damon, who design'd to pass the day

With hounds and horns, and chase the flying prey,

Rose early from his bed; but soon he found

The welkin pitch'd with sullen clouds around,

An eastern wind, and dew upon the ground.
