CAN lovely Delia ftil! perfift
To fly purfuing love •
To fly purfuing love !
Can Ihe my paffion ftill refill,
And always fcornful prove !
And always fcornful prove !
With fighs and tears I told my tale,
And did it oft. repeat ;
But fighs and tears will not avail,
She does my hopes defeat.
Pity my fate, ye pow'rs above,
Relax the fair-one's heart ;
And grant that Delia may, in love,
With Corydon bear part.
