[Think, think, how cutting is the Grief]
Think, think, how cutting is the Grief,
When gall'd by a proud Beauty's Chain;
To see the cruel, lovely Thief,
Does only laugh at all our Pain.
Think that a Lover can not live,
Unless he sees whom he adores,
And give me Hopes your Heart forgives
And me to Favour once restores.
Since tho' I've lightly been to blame,
And grossly wrong'd my Charming Fair;
Enough I have aton'd the same,
By my sad Suff'ring and Despair.
When gall'd by a proud Beauty's Chain;
To see the cruel, lovely Thief,
Does only laugh at all our Pain.
Think that a Lover can not live,
Unless he sees whom he adores,
And give me Hopes your Heart forgives
And me to Favour once restores.
Since tho' I've lightly been to blame,
And grossly wrong'd my Charming Fair;
Enough I have aton'd the same,
By my sad Suff'ring and Despair.
