SONG X. Falshood excus'd.
I
Why blames my Love her humble SwainFor gazing upon Cælia's Eyes?
Or in soft Notes t'express his Pain,
While at her Feet he dying lies?
II
Her Look, 'tis true, does Love inspire,And long departed Warmth renew;
Again it gives me fresh Desire,
But then 'tis given all for you.
III
Enflam'd by her I come to theeTo ease the Burden of her Charms;
She does beget the Extasie,
But it is born within thy Arms.
