SONG.
[Love is by Fancy led about]
Love is by Fancy led aboutFrom Hope to Fear, from Joy to Doubt;
Whom we now an Angel call,
Divinely grac'd in every Feature,
Straight's a deform'd, a perjur'd Creature;
Love and Hate are Fancy all.
'Tis but as Fancy shall present
Objects of Grief, or of Content,
That the Lover's blest, or dies:
Visions of mighty Pain, or Pleasure,
Imagin'd Want, imagin'd Treasure,
All in powerful Fancy lies.
