Of my dear Megacles, O if thy heart
Be gentle as thy looks, in kind compassion
Procure me tidings of the man I love.
Ah! seek to know what land detains
The object of my care:
If still his breast unchang'd remains,
If I his converse share.
The object of my care:
If still his breast unchang'd remains,
If I his converse share.
Enquire if e'er he gently sighs
At mention of my name;
If e'er, when tender passions rise,
His lips his thoughts proclaim.
At mention of my name;
