SONG.
[Know, Celadon! in vain you use]
1
Know, Celadon! in vain you useThese little Arts to me:
Though Strephon did my Heart refuse,
I cannot give it thee:
His harsh Refusal hath not brought
It's Value yet so low,
That what was worth that Shepherds Thoughts,
I shou'd on You bestow.
2
Nor can I love my Strephon less,For his ungrateful Pride,
Though Honour does, I must confess,
My guilty Passion chide.
72
Though now it be in vain;
But yet of him, I ask no more
Than Pity for my Pain.
