| 452. Absence |
| WITH leaden foot Time creeps along | |
| While Delia is away: | |
| With her, nor plaintive was the song, | |
| Nor tedious was the day. | |
| Ah, envious Pow'r! reverse my doom; | 5 |
| Now double thy career, | |
| Strain ev'ry nerve, stretch ev'ry plume, | |
| And rest them when she 's here! |
