When Ruin threaten'd me of late, With all its ghastly Train; Some Pow'r, in Pity to my Fate, Sent bountiful Germain,

Her Soul is mov'd with my Distress, And kind Compassion shows; That gen'rous Hand, long us'd to bless, Quick mitigates my Woes.

Thrice happy Fair! indulgent Heav'n To Thee was doubly kind: To others only Hearts are giv'n; Thy Fortune suits thy Mind.
