Is lit smart enough to figure it out? An excerpt from the poem in question:

Mourn, all ye Groves, in darker Shades be seen,
Let Groans be heard where gentle Winds have been:
Ye Albion Rivers, weep your Fountains dry,
And all ye Plants your Moisture spend and die:
Ye melancholy Flowers, which once were Men,
Lament, until you be transform'd agen,
Let every Rose pale as the Lily be,
And Winter Frost seize the Anemone:
But thou, O Hyacinth, more vigorous grow,
In mournful Letters thy sad Glory show,
Enlarge thy Grief, and flourish in thy Woe:
For Bion, the beloved Bion's dead,
His Voice is gone, his tuneful Breath is fled.
Come, all ye Muses, come, adorn the Shepherd's Herse,
With never-fading Garlands, never-dying Verse.
