ON THE
RUIN OF THE BARMECIDES.
NO, Barmec! time hath never shown
Ā Ā So sad a change of wayward fate;
Nor sorrowing mortals ever known
Ā Ā A grief so true, a loss so great.
Ā Ā So sad a change of wayward fate;
Nor sorrowing mortals ever known
Ā Ā A grief so true, a loss so great.
Spouse of the world! thy soothing breast
Ā Ā Did balm to every woe afford;
And now, no more by thee caressed,
Ā Ā The widowed world bewails her lord.
