The second and fourth tines to rhime--the others, not. 415 To chase the clouds of gloom, and sooth my grief, The beauties of the painted vale! sought. I often water'ci the flow'rs with my tears, And loaded the passing gale with my sighs. s 416.--A dying Father, to his Children. Pious offspring! go, and restrain those tears.
