THE TENTH POEM.
[If from the Bottom of my love-sick Heart]
If from the Bottom of my love-sick Heart,Of last Night's Coyness I do not repent,
May I no more your tender Anguish hear,
No longer see you shed th'impassion'd Tear.
You grasp'd my Knees, and yet to let you part—
O Night more happy with Cerinthus spent!
My Flame with Coyness to conceal I thought,
But this Concealment was too dearly bought.
