A SONG.
[Oh! forbear to bid me slight her]
I
Oh! forbear to bid me slight her,Soul and senses, take her part;
Could my death itself delight her,
Life should leap, to leave my heart.
Strong, though soft, a lover's chain,
Charm'd with woe, and pleas'd with pain.
II
Tho' the tender flame were dying,Love would light it, at her eyes;
Or, her tuneful voice applying,
Thro' my ear, my soul surprize.
Deaf, I see the fate, I shun;
Blind, I hear, I am undone,
