TO KITTY WALKER:
December 1742.
KITTY, crown'd with Loves and Graces,
Why to me this am'rous art?
Why to me these fond embraces,
While another has your heart?
Why to me this am'rous art?
Why to me these fond embraces,
While another has your heart?
Tho' a moment's inclination,
May a transient joy impart;
Can I hope for lasting passion,
While another has your heart.
May a transient joy impart;
Can I hope for lasting passion,
While another has your heart.

O, that I could gain it wholly,
For I scorn to take a part;
But to think of that were folly,
For another has your heart.
For I scorn to take a part;
But to think of that were folly,
For another has your heart.
'Tis no longer your's to give me,
Kitty, at those words you start;
And durst you hope you could deceive me,
While another has your heart.
Kitty, at those words you start;
And durst you hope you could deceive me,
While another has your heart.
In my breast thy beauteous face is,
Grav'd by Cupid's powerful dart;
But from thence I'll blot those traces,
Since another has your heart.
Grav'd by Cupid's powerful dart;
But from thence I'll blot those traces,
Since another has your heart.
Gods, how jealous torments move me,
Oh, what anguish, and what smart;
None on earth like me can love thee,
Tho' another has your heart.
Oh, what anguish, and what smart;
None on earth like me can love thee,
Tho' another has your heart.
