sentence
hear: with stern distaste avow'd,
To their own districts drive the suitor-crowd;
When next the morning warms the purple east,

The sorrows of your inmost soul relate;
And form sure plans to save the sinking state.

Their doubt and dread, and blindly to forsake
Thy purity of likeness and distort
Thy worthiest love to a
worthless
counterfeit.
