[That Celia's sick to death, whene'er]
IN NOVA FERT ANIMUS.
My fond attachment I declare,
226
But that her Ladyship would die,
Were fifty fools as fond as I,
Is more than I have faith to credit.
She'll live on to be su'd, while she's lovers to sue;
If not for more reasons, at least for these two;—
Out of spite to the old, and in hopes of the new.
