SONG.


I.

_While_ SAPPHO, _with harmonious Airs,
Her dear_ PHILENIS _charms,
With equal joy the Nymph appears,
Dissolving in her Arms_.


II.

_Thus to themselves alone they are,
What all_ Mankind _can give;
Alternately the happy Pair
All grant, and all receive_.


III.

_Like the_ Twin-Stars, _so fam'd for Friends,
Who set by Turns and rise;
When_ one _to_ THETIS _Lap descends
His_ Brother _mounts the Skies_.
