LESBIA's Insensibility.
Observe the num'rous Stars which grace
The fair expanded Skies,
So many Charms has Lesbia's Face,
A Thousand more her Eyes.
The fair expanded Skies,
So many Charms has Lesbia's Face,
A Thousand more her Eyes.
When e'er the beauteous Maid appears,
We cannot but admire;
But when she speaks, she charms our Ears,
And sets our Souls on Fire.

And sets our Souls on Fire.

What Pity 'tis, a Creature,
By Nature form'd so fair,
Divine in ev'ry Feature,
Should give Mankind Despair?
She gazes all around her,
And gains a Thousand Hearts;
But Cupid cannot wound her,
For she has all his Darts.
