[With Scorn and Rigour arm your Eyes]
With Scorn and Rigour arm your Eyes,
Be haughty, cruel, and severe;
If Anger in my Breast arise,
I'll stifle it, and keep it there.
No, no, whatever Pains I bear,
Tho' Grief be painted in my Eyes;
Ne'er shall my Heart rebellious dare,
Repine, or say You tyrannize.
Perhaps I languishing may mourn,
And beg you not to be severe;
But shou'd my Breast with Anger burn,
I'll stifle it, and keep it there.
Be haughty, cruel, and severe;
If Anger in my Breast arise,
I'll stifle it, and keep it there.
No, no, whatever Pains I bear,
Tho' Grief be painted in my Eyes;
Ne'er shall my Heart rebellious dare,
Repine, or say You tyrannize.
Perhaps I languishing may mourn,
And beg you not to be severe;
But shou'd my Breast with Anger burn,
I'll stifle it, and keep it there.
