from The Lamentation for Adonis, imitated out of the Greek of Bion of Smyrna
Venus has lost her Lover, and each grace,
That sate before in triumph on her face,
By grief chas'd thence, has now forsook the place.
That day which snatch'd Adonis from her arms,
That day bereft the Goddess of her charms.
The Woods and Trees in murmuring sighs bemoan
The fate of her Adonis dead and gone.
The Rivers too, as if they would deplore
His death, with grief swell higher than before:
The Flowers weep in tears of dreary dew,
And by their drooping heads their sorrow shew:
But most the Cyprian Queen with shrieks, and groans,
Fills all the neighb'ring Hills, and Vales, and Towns:
The poor Adonis dead! is all her cry,
Adonis dead! sad Echo does reply.
