My wond'ring eyes, gay forms arose to view.
False Pleasure here the borrow'd form of Joy
Assum'd, and roll'd around her sparkling eye.
But who, allur'd by her enchanting song,
From Virtue shrinks, and mingles with her throng.
Soon sees her beauties fade, and to his eyes
Deformity and sad Disease arise.
