THE

LUSI A D.

BOOK IV.

As the toft veffel on the ocean rowls,

When dark the night, and loud the tempeft howls,
When the lorn mariner in every wave

That breaks and gleams, forbodes his watery grave;

But when the dawn, all filent and ferene,

With foft-paced ray difpels the fhades obscene,
With grateful transport sparkling in each eye,
The joyful crew the port of safety spy.

Such darkling tempefts and portended fate,
While weak Fernando lived, appall'd the ftate;
Such when he dy'd, the peaceful morning rose,
The dawn of joy, and footh'd the public woes.
