Beauty knows her powt r too w«l! :
When they lift they love, when they pleafc they move;
Thus they turn their heaven to Iiell -.
Where their fair eyes glancing,
Like ro Cupids dancing,
Rules wci! for to deceive us,
With vain hopes deluding.
Still their prailc concluding.
Thus they lovC) thus they leave us.

Lovely Love i be thou my gaide :
But rie fore complain me,
5he will fiiil difdain tne ;
Beauty is(o full of pride.
