Then Wilmot tunes his reed, and in his song Gives early specimen of genius, rare And prone to excellence. But ah ! how vain Poetic hopes ! The prime of life is lost. His talent wasted, and the giddy fool Grows old in pleasure, and denies his God. THE VILLAGE CURATE. HT The grave in view, a holy friend his guide, He views his conduct with remorse, repents, Acknowledges his fault, curses the wit Of erring man that so outwits itself. And dies, a martyr to the pains of vice. Then Yalden sings, and ...fills us with delight. His harp so tun'd, that as the morning breaks It breathes spontaneous rapture, and again At cv'ning close with solemn eulogy Welcomes the reign of night. With dewy eye But harlot tear, then Otway's muse begins, And charms who hears her with her Syren air; To decency, alas, no friend, to vice No enemy. His Celia then proclaims Enamour'd Duke, at Floriana's grave Sweet lamentation chanting. Doi-set then Hums nobly liberal, and hums too much, Scarce heard an hour. Chaste Montague succeeds.
