But ſee, the good, the virtuous Didymus! |
But see, the good, the virtuous Didymus! |
Wakeful, as Philomel, with throbbing Heart, |
Wakeful, as Philomel, with throbbing heart, |
He comes to join with us in Pray’r |
He comes to join with us in prayer |
For Theodora. — |

No; Heav’n has heard your Pray’rs for Theodora: |
No; heav’n has heard your prayers for Theodora: |
Behold her ſafe. — Oh! that as free, and ſafe, |
Behold her safe. Oh! that as free, and safe, |
Were Didymus, my kind Deliverer! |
Were Didymus, my kind deliverer! |
But let this Habit ſpeak the reſt. |
But let this habit speak the rest. |
