To Her, his well-known Friend, the Youth addrest,
Told all his Grief, his tender Flame confest;
Beg'd her Assistance powerful to perswade,
And move to Pity the relentless Maid.
Griev'd with his Grief, the tender Fair comply'd,
A thousand ways to gain her Sister try'd;
Now urg'd his Worth, and now his Wealth to move,
But more than all the rest his tender Love.
In vain; the fluttering Beauty still denies,
Nor hears Carissa's Words, nor Damon's Sighs.
Told all his Grief, his tender Flame confest;

But more than all the rest his tender Love.
In vain; the fluttering Beauty still denies,
Nor hears Carissa's Words, nor Damon's Sighs.
