AIR by Miss PHILLIPS.

I

Ah! think me not unfeeling Love;
If still from thee I hide each pain,
'Tis but that thou may'st better prove
The fancied peace I strive to feign.

II

I would not have thy generous breast
Pierc'd with a pang beyond its own;
'Twou'd point thy griefs were mine confest
Ah! leave me then to weep alone.
