Transcript

Sonnet

Then farewell! lovely Nancy,!
Farewell to love, and you:
And farewell! flattering Fancy!
Which bade me first pursue.

She drew thee fair and smiling,
Soft pity in your Eye;
And with fond hope beguiling,
She told me, Bliss was nigh.

Still wishing for tomorrow,
I sigh’d from day to day:
But found at night, that sorrow
Was all the Lover’s Pay.

The heaving sigh to smother,
To stop the gushing tear,
To see thee bless another,
Is more than man can bear.

Then farewell! lovely Nancy!
Farewell to love and you;
And far[e]well, flattering Fancy,
Which bade me first pursue
