The Innocent Conjugates or The Maiden Bridegroom and Virgin Bride
Inflam'd by love and led by blind desires,The man pursues, the bashful maid retires.
He hopes for pleasure, but she fears the pain;
His love but ignorance is, her fears more vain:
Whene'er he tastes those joys so priz'd before,
He'll love no longer, and she'll fear no more.
