To Miss Aurelia C–––r, on Her Weeping at Her Sister’s Wedding

Cease, fair Aurelia, cease to mourn,
  Lament not Hannah’s happy state;
You may be happy in your turn,
  And seize the treasure you regret.

With Love united Hymen stands, 5
  And softly whispers to your charms,
“Meet but your lover in my bands,
  You’ll find your sister in his arms.”
