TO SYLVIA.
How canst thou smile at my despair,
And bid me other nymphs adore?
Show me a girl but half so fair,
And I will trouble thee no more.
And bid me other nymphs adore?
Show me a girl but half so fair,
And I will trouble thee no more.
Hide then that neck, and lip, and eye,
Since thus resolv'd to shun pursuit;
For Love will follow, like the fly,
That always seeks the fairest fruit.
Since thus resolv'd to shun pursuit;
For Love will follow, like the fly,
That always seeks the fairest fruit.
