On a Lady Weeping[;] Imitation From the Latin of Nicolaus Archius

1. 1Lovely gems of radiance meek
2. 2Trembling down my Laura's cheek,
3. 3As the streamlets silent glide
4. 4Thro' the Mead's enamell'd pride,
5. 5Pledges sweet of pious woe,
6. 6Tears which Friendship taught to flow,
7. 7Sparkling in yon humid light
8. 8Love embathes his pinions bright:
9. 9There amid the glitt'ring show'r
10. 10Smiling sits th' insidious Power;
11. 11As some wingéd Warbler oft
12. 12When Spring-clouds shed their treasures soft
13. 13Joyous tricks his plumes anew,
14. 14And flutters in the fost'ring dew.
