SONG.

H, conceal that charming Creature

OH

From my wondring, wishing Eyes!

Ev'ry Motion, ev'ry Feature

Does fome ravish'd Heart furprize;

But oh, I fighing, fighing, fee

The happy Swain! she ne'er can be

False to him, or kind to me.

Yet, if I could humbly show her,

Ah! how wretched I remain ;

'Tis not, fure, a Thing below her,

Still to pity fo much Pain.

The

The Gods fome Pleasure, Pleasure take,

Happy as themselves to make

Those who suffer for their Sake.

Since your Hand alone was giv'n

To a Wretch not worth your Care; Like fome Angel fent from Heav'n,

Come and raise me from Despair! Your Heart I cannot, cannot miss, And I defire no other Bliss;

Let all the World befides be His.

[blocks in formation]

Yet while I languish so,

And on thee vainly call;

Take heed, fair Caufe of all my Woe,

What Fate may thee befall.

Ungrateful,

Ungrateful, cruel Faults

Suit not thy gentle Sex ;

Hereafter, how will guilty Thoughts

Thy tender Conscience vex!

When welcome Death hall bring

Relief to wretched me,

My Soul enlarg'd, and once on Wing,

In hafte will fly to thee.

When in thy lonely Bed,

My Ghost its Moan fhall make,

With faddeft Signs that I am dead,
And dead for thy dear Sake.

[blocks in formation]

Too late Remorfe will then

Untimely Pity show

To him, who of all mortal Men

Did most thy Value know,

Yet, with this broken Heart,

I wish thou never be

Tormented with the thousandth Part
Of what I feel for thee.
