| PAST ruin'd Ilion Helen lives, | |
| Alcestis rises from the shades; | |
| Verse calls them forth; 'tis verse that gives | |
| Immortal youth to mortal maids. | |
| Soon shall Oblivion's deepening veil | 5 |
| Hide all the peopled hills you see, | |
| The gay, the proud, while lovers hail | |
| These many summers you and me. |
