SONG.
I
Lucinda summons ev'ry charmWith pure design to kill;
But Delia would her face disarm,
And wounds against her will.
II
In vain to save my trembling heartLucinda's sight I fly;
Lucinda with bewitching art
At distance can destroy.
III
Where shall my frighted wand'rer restFrom such a force secure?
147
Where witchcraft has no power.
IV
Thus the poor Lark, when birds of preyDenounce a bloody fate;
To some near cottage hastes away,
And courts a captive state.
