Sad Chance, since first that happy pair was wed,
With all the rivers graced their nuptial bed ;
And father Neptune promised to resign
His empire old to their immortal line ;
Now with vain grief their vainer hopes they rue,
TJiemselves dishonoured, and the gods untrue ;
And to each other, couple, moan.
With all the rivers graced their nuptial bed ;
And father Neptune promised to resign
His empire old to their immortal line ;
Now with vain grief their vainer hopes they rue,
TJiemselves dishonoured, and the gods untrue ;
And to each other, couple, moan.
