Thy triumph, O Love, is complete. "One glance of that eye the cold bosom

CUPID CAPTIVATED. [From Poems by S. T. Coleridge.] AS late each flower that sweeteft blows I pluck'd, the garden's pride,

Within the petals of a role

A fleeping Love I 'fpied.
Around his brows a beamy wreath
Of many a lucent hue;

All purple glow'd his cheek, beneath,
Inebriate with the dew.

I foftly feiz'd th' unguarded Power,
Nor fear'd his haltny reft;
And plac'd him, cag'd within the flower,
On fpotless Sara's breaft..
But when, unweeting of the guile,
Awoke the pris'ner fweet,
He ftruggled to efcape awhile,

And fiamp'd his faery feet.
Ah! foon the foul-entrancing fight ́ ̧
Subdu'd th' impatient boy!
He gaz'd; he thrill'd with deep delight,
Then clapp'd his wings for joy."
And "Oh! (he cried) of magic kind
What charms this throne endear!
Some other Love let Venus find-
I'll fix my empire here."

poffeft, [linking heart. Bade Love to file, and cheard my Then hence, Defpair, with lonely forrow fraught!

Hope fhields my breaft, and fets thy pow'r at naught.
