But lighter than the autumn's wither'd leaves,
Scatter'd and blown by every passing breeze;
Paris forsakes me for another's charms,
Nor longer sinks enraptur'd in my arms:
But still my Paris, still for you I sigh,
For you the tear still glistens in my eye,
Faithful to you I spurn with cold disdain,
The love and offers of each wealthy swain.
