 | Sir Anthony Love : or, The Rambling Lady |  |
SONG in the Fifth Act:
By Major-General Sackvile.I.
In vain Clemene you bestowThe promis'd Empire of your Heart:
If you refuse to let me know
The wealthy Charms of every part.
II.
My Passion with your Kindness grew,Tho' Beauty gave the first desire:
But Beauty only to pursue,
Is following a wandring Fire.
III.
As Hills in Perspective suppressThe free Enquiry of the Sight:
Restraint makes every Pleasure less,
And takes from Love the full delight.
IV.
Faint Kisses may in part supplyThose eager Longings of my Soul;
But oh! I'm lost, if you deny
A quick possession of the whole.
