Love's Slavery.
Grave Fops my Envy now beget,
Who did my Pity move;
They, by the Right of wanting Wit,
Are free from Cares of Love.
Who did my Pity move;
They, by the Right of wanting Wit,
Are free from Cares of Love.
Turks honour Fools, because they are
By that Defect secure
From Slavery and Toils of War,
Which all the rest endure.
By that Defect secure
From Slavery and Toils of War,
Which all the rest endure.
So I, who suffer cold Neglect
And Wounds from Celia's Eyes,
Begin extremely to respect
These Fools that seem so wise.
And Wounds from Celia's Eyes,
Begin extremely to respect
These Fools that seem so wise.

'Tis true, they fondly set their Hearts
On things of no Delight;
To pass all Day for Men of Parts,
They pass alone the Night:
On things of no Delight;
To pass all Day for Men of Parts,
They pass alone the Night:
But Celia never breaks their Rest;
Such Servants she disdains;
And so the Fops are dully blest,
While I endure her Chains.
Such Servants she disdains;
And so the Fops are dully blest,
While I endure her Chains.
