III. Le Printemps rampelle aux Armes.

H*b---t , my Knight, 'tis him I adore,
Without flattering:
H*b---t, my Knight, 'tis him I adore,
And will be true.
And will pray for that happy Hour,
In which he will his Flames renew.

But for fear too much should him cloy,
And cause him to loath;
But for fear too much should him cloy,
And make him loath;
What he once prized as his Joy,
And above all Things what he chose.
I shall therefore, e'er it be long,
Beg him to desist;
I shall therefore, e'er it be long,
Beg he'd desist;
And peruse the proceeding Song,
Which is the Thoughts of my throbbing Breast.
