SONG XXV. The Caution.
I
Ah Silvia! have a Care—that GlanceAlas! belong'd to me;
Ev'n tho' thy Eyes but rov'd by Chance
'Twou'd yet Injustice be.
I should not care indeed if thine
Did but like common Beauties move;
But Ah! those Lights can never shine
Without inspiring Love.
II
What conquer'd me, alas! my Dear,Will others conquer too:
In vain you cry, I need not fear,
And promise to be true.
If you are pleas'd when e'er you make
Some other youthful Heart your Prize,
Your Love its flight will quickly take,
And wait upon your Eyes.
