SONG XIX.
AMafon’s daughter, fair and young,
The pride of all the virgin throng.
Thus to her lover faid :
Though, Damon, I your flame approve.
Your actions praife, your perfon love,
Yet.ftill I’ll live a maid.
None fhall untie my virgin-zone.
But one to whom the fecret’s known,
Of fam’d free-malbnry;
In which the great and good combine,
To raife, with generous defign,
Man to felicity.
The lodge excludes the fop and fool.
The plodding knave, and party-tool.
That liberty would fell;
The noble, faithful, and the brave,
No golden charms can e’er deceive.
In flavery to dwell.
This faid, he bow’d, and went away ;
Apply was made, without delay,
Return’d to her again ;
The fair-one granted his requeft.
Connubial joys their days have bleft ;
And may they e’er remain.
