Mr. Cooke's Original Poems | ||
Of Lesbia.
To Lesbia when I speak she turns away,And always answers short to what I say;
Oft' as we meet to chide she never fails,
And in her Visits at Catullus rails:
I from my Soul believe, or let me dy,
That Lesbia views me with a Lover's Eye:
But I am ask'd, whence I so vain am grown:
I judge of her Behaviour from my own;
I always rail at her, but let me dy,
If I don't view her with a Lover's Eye.
