or The Art of Charming. A Poem [by Robert Dodsley]

Long time he languisht, but to ease her Toil,
Returning Health at length began to smile;
And with his Health his Reason too Return'd,
No more his Breast for vain Florella burn'd.

The Beauties of Carissa all appear;
Fair to the Mind, agreeable to Sight,
Love, Reason, Virtue, in her Cause unite.
