SONG
Not Celia, that I juster am
Or better than the rest,
For I would change each Hour like them,
Were not my Heart at rest.
Or better than the rest,
For I would change each Hour like them,
Were not my Heart at rest.
7
But I am ty'd to very thee,
By every Thought I have,
Thy Face I only care to see,
Thy Heart I only crave.
By every Thought I have,
Thy Face I only care to see,
Thy Heart I only crave.
All that i[n] Woman is ador'd,
In thy dear Self I find,
For the whole Sex can but afford,
The Handsome and the Kind.
In thy dear Self I find,
For the whole Sex can but afford,
The Handsome and the Kind.
Why then should I seek farther Store,
And still make Love a-new;
When Change itself can give no more,
'Tis easie to be true.
And still make Love a-new;
When Change itself can give no more,
'Tis easie to be true.
