unknown author, Tixall Poetry — The Death of Amintas (1813)
“ The wood-nimphs reply when they hear me complain, Thou never shalt see thy Amintas againe: For death hath befriended him, Fate hath defended him,None, none alive, is so happy a swaine.You sheapards and nimphs that have danc'd to his laies,Come helpe me to sing forth Amintas his praise ”
