SONG to the Same.
In vain a thousand Slaves have try'd
To overcome Clarinda's Pride:
Pity pleading,
Love persuading,
When her Icy Heart is thaw'd,
Honour chides, and straight she's aw'd.

Foolish Creature,
Follow Nature,
Waste not thus your Prime;
Youth's a Treasure,
Love's a Pleasure,
Both destroy'd by Time.
