PARAPHRASE.

O lovely Pyrrah, thoro must bo
Somo handsome lad a-courting thee.
With roses ladon from neighboring bowers,
Else whonco this pretty wreath of flowers?
Your swoot simplicity in dross
Hath tangled youth in many a moss.
Tho luckloss boy knows not thy heart,
Thy stillful oyos, thy knowing art;
But happy, hopes thj lovo to hold.
Rash youth! In time ho will grow old,
And, having plunged in seas of lovo,
Swim out, and place his coat above
Tho tomplo door. Brine soaked it hangs
To warn wild youth that "love hath pangs."
