An Assurance of Constancy.
A Song.
Belinda
, why do you distrust,
So faithful and so kind a Heart,
Which cannot prove to you unjust,
But must it self endure the smart.
So faithful and so kind a Heart,
Which cannot prove to you unjust,
But must it self endure the smart.
No, no, my dear, the wandring Stars
Shall sooner cease their motion,
And Nature reconcile the Jars
'Twixt Boreas and the Ocean.
Shall sooner cease their motion,
And Nature reconcile the Jars
'Twixt Boreas and the Ocean.
75
The fixed Poles shall rather move,
And ramble from their Places,
E'er I'll from fair Belinda rove,
Or slight her charming Graces.
And ramble from their Places,
E'er I'll from fair Belinda rove,
Or slight her charming Graces.
