THE ROVER:

OR, THE Way to Win Him. A SONG.

I

How tormenting's the Anguish,
When the Fair pine and languish,
And too soon their Indulgence discover:
If the Nymph is complying,
The Swain ceases dying,
And the Warmth of his Passion is over.

The best Way to charm him,
Is with Fears to alarm him,
To keep him in Awe, and at Distance.
By making him jealous,
She makes him more zealous,
And secures him her Slave by Resistance.
