SONG XII. No Life if no Love.
I
Cælia is chast, yet her bright EyesAre Motives to Desire;
Each Look, each Motion does surprize,
And lasting Love inspire.
Her Smiles wou'd make the Wretch rejoice
Expiring just before;
And O! to hear her charming Voice
Is Heav'n!—or something more!
II
And thus adorn'd, where e'er she turnsFresh Conquests on her wait;
The tremb'ling restless Lover burns,
Nor can resist his Fate.
Ah Cælia! as y'are fair, be kind,
Nor this small Grace deny;
Tho' Love for Love I never find,
Yet let me love or die!
