Or lul’d with Grief, or, rapt her Soul to Heav’n, |
Or lulled with grief, or, rapt her soul to heav’n, |
In Innocence of Thought, entranc’d ſhe lies; |
In innocence of thought, entranced she lies; |
Her Beauty ſhining ſtill, like Cynthia, |
Her beauty shining still, like Cynthia, |
Riſing in clouded Majeſty. — |
Rising in clouded majesty. |
