The Works of Soame Jenyns | ||
WRITTEN IN A LADY's VOLUME OF TRAGEDIES.
Since thou, renlentless maid, canst daily hearThy slave's complaints without one sigh or tear,
Why beats thy breast, or thy bright eyes o'erflow
At these imaginary scenes of woe?
Rather teach these to weep and that to heave,
At real pains themselves to thousands give;
And if such pity to feign'd love is due,
Consider how much more you owe to true.
