Sent to Mrs. Bridget Jones, With the Wanderer, a Poem
WITH THE WANDERER, A POEM ,
Alluding to an Episode where a young man turns hermit for the loss of his wife Olympia.
When with delight fond Love on Beauty dwelt,
While this the youth and that the fair exprest,
Faint was his joy compar'd to what I felt,
When in my angel Biddy's presence blest.
Tell her, my Muse! in soft, sad, sighing breath,
If she his piercing grief can pitying see,
Worse than to him was his Olympia's death
From her each moment's absence is to me.
