[If a lover, sweet creature, should foolishly seek]
If a lover, sweet creature, should foolishly seek
On thy face for the bloom of the rose,
Oh tell him, although it has died on thy cheek,
He will find it at least on thy nose.
On thy face for the bloom of the rose,
Oh tell him, although it has died on thy cheek,
He will find it at least on thy nose.
Sweet emblem of virtue! rely upon this,
Should thy bosom be wantonly prest,
That if the rude ravisher gets but a kiss,
He'll be ready to fancy the rest!
Should thy bosom be wantonly prest,
That if the rude ravisher gets but a kiss,
He'll be ready to fancy the rest!
