SONG II.

I

Silly Nymph, no more Airs I desire,
Nor think with that Face to trepan:
Time has rifled your Eyes of their Fire:
You must hope never more for a Man.

II

Yet, as Age hurries on, you grow proud,
Gay, airy, coquetish, and smart,

127

Still ogling, and talking aloud,
And wou'd fain make a Slave of my Heart.
