DIR GE IN CYMBELINE. SUNG BY GUIDERUS T AND ARVIRAGUS OVER FIDELE, SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD. O fair Fidele's graffy tomb Soft maids and village hinds fhall bring Each opening fweet, of earliest bloom, And rifle all the breathing Spring. No wailing ghost shall dare appear But fhepherd lads affemble here, And melting virgins own their love. No wither'd witch fhall here be seen, No goblins lead their nightly crew; The female fays fhall haunt the green, And dress thy grave with pearly dew; So fpread o'er Greece, th' harmonious whole unknown, Even Homer's numbers charm'd by parts alone. A fond alliance with the Poet's name. DIR GE IN CYMBELINE. SUNG BY GUIDERUS AND ARVIRAGUS OVER FIDELE, SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD. O fair Fidele's graffy tomb To fa Soft maids and village hinds fhall bring Each opening fweet, of earlieft bloom, And rifle all the breathing Spring. No wailing ghoft shall dare appear And melting virgins own their love. No wither'd witch fhall here be seen, The red-breast oft at evening hours To deck the ground where thou art laid. When howling winds, and beating rain, The tender thought on thee shall dwell. Each lonely fcene fhall thee reftore, Belov'd, till life can charm no more; And mourn'd, till Pity's felf be dead.
