A HEART IN CHAINS.
Ah! why Sir is this heart enchain'd,
And hung upon the mountain's belt?
That all the world may see it feign'd
Affection, it had never felt.
The traveller may truly start,
To see such false and spotted heart.
And hung upon the mountain's belt?
That all the world may see it feign'd
Affection, it had never felt.
The traveller may truly start,
To see such false and spotted heart.
Go! travel on the road to Love,
There many gibbets thou wilt see,
Where hearts in misery will prove
The recompence of treachery.
Go hasten on, but shouldst thou start,
Let honor, Sir, compose thine heart.
There many gibbets thou wilt see,
Where hearts in misery will prove
The recompence of treachery.
Go hasten on, but shouldst thou start,
Let honor, Sir, compose thine heart.
