On seeing a Youth Affectionately Welcomed by a Sister Annotated

&nbspI too a sister had! too cruel Death!
&nbsp       &nbspHow sad Remembrance bids my bosom heave!
&nbspTranquil her soul, as sleeping Infant's breath;
&nbsp       &nbspMeek were her manners as a vernal Eve.
&nbspKnowledge, that frequent lifts the bloated mind,
&nbsp       &nbspGave her the treasure of a lowly breast,
&nbspAnd Wit to venom'd Malice oft assign'd,
&nbsp       &nbspDwelt in her bosom in a Turtle's nest.
&nbspCease, busy Memory! cease to urge the dart;
&nbsp       &nbspNor on my soul her love to me impress!
&nbspFor oh I mourn in anguish—and my heart
&nbsp       &nbspFeels the keen pang, th' unutterable distress.
Yet wherefore grieve I that her sorrows cease,
For Life was misery, and the Grave is Peace!
