SONG V. Wit and Beauty.
I
When from her Beauty long I've stroveTo free my doating Heart,
Her Wit brings back my fliting Love,
And chains it down by Art.
8
II
Then, when her Wit I've often foil'd,With one commanding View,
I'm by her Eyes again beguil'd,
And Captive took anew.
III
Her Wit alone were vain, aloneHer Beauty wou'd not do;
But what the Devil can be done
With Wit and Beauty too?
