AMYNTAS.
167
Proud with my influence to assist a pair,
Whom Heaven hath marked with it's peculiar care;
To crown, with Hymen's blessings, love and truth;
To make a good old man resume his youth;
Make his heart feel, while he the rite surveys,
The strong pulsation of it's better days;
To draw it's finest language from the soul,
And down his cheeks bid sacred sluices roll,
Which conscious Jove will view from his abode,
Of such a nature pleased to be the God.
