Never pray more; abandon all remorse;
On horror's head read more

Cruel Remorse! where Youth and Pleasure sport,
And thoughtless Folly keeps her court,--
Crouching 'midst rosy bowers thou lurk'st unseen
Slumbering the festal hours away,

And tear his helpless breast, o'erwhelmed with wild dismay.

Evil, be thou my good.

Farewell, remorse: all good to me is lost;
