To an Unfortunate Woman at the Theatre Annotated

Maiden, that with sullen brow
&nbspSitt'st behind those virgins gay,
Like a scorch'd and mildew'd bough,
&nbspLeafless 'mid the blooms of May!

Him who lur'd thee and forsook,
&nbspOft I watch'd with angry gaze,
Fearful saw his pleading look,
&nbspAnxious heard his fervid phrase.

Soft the glances of the Youth,
&nbspSoft his speech, and soft his sigh;
But no sound like simple Truth,
&nbspBut no true love in his eye.

Loathing thy polluted lot,
&nbspHie thee, Maiden, hie thee hence!
Seek thy weeping Mother's cot,
&nbspWith a wiser innocence.

Thou hast known deceit and folly,
&nbspThou hast felt that Vice is woe:
With a musing melancholy
&nbspInly arm'd, go, Maiden! go.

Mother sage of Self-dominion,
&nbspFirm thy steps, O Melancholy!
The strongest plume in Wisdom's pinion
&nbspIs the memory of past folly.

Mute the sky-lark and forlorn,
&nbspWhile she moults the firstling plumes,
That had skimm'd the tender corn,
&nbspOr the beanfield's odorous blooms.

Soon with renovated wing
&nbspShall she dare a loftier flight,
Upward to the Day-Star spring,
&nbspAnd embathe in heavenly light.
