"Cruel Remorse! where Youth and Pleasure sport, And thoughtless Folly keeps her court,— Crouching 'midst rosy bowers thou lurk'st unseen Slumbering the festal hours away, While Youth disports in that enchanting scene; Till on some fated day Thou with a tiger-spring dost leap upon thy prey, And tear his helpless breast, o'erwhelmed with wild dismay."
Remorse
