SONG.
I
A Thousand charms can Lesbia boast,As many torments I sustain;
Sure Nature's purpose here is crost,
If Nature e'er did ought in vain.
138
II
Of passion why so large my share,Without an equal art to move?
Why was she made so tempting fair,
And yet so great a foe to love?
III
In those dear arms, O let me rest,A while that lovely bosom join!
Then shall I warm that snowy breast,
Or cool this glowing heart of mine.
