Excerpt from The Works of William Mason, Vol. 2 of 4 This pilgrim's staff, and scrip, and all these marks Of vagrant poverty. Chorus (within. Hail to thy living light, Ambrosia] Morn all hail thy roseate ray' orgar. But hark, the sound of sweetest minstrelsy Breaks on mine car. The females, I suppose, Whom athelwold has left my child's attendants; That, when she wails the absence of her lord, Their lenient airs, and-sprightly-fancied songs, May steal away her woes. See, they approach This grove shall shroud me till they cease their strain Then I'll address them with some feigned tale.
