SONG LVI. We all to, $cc,
W£ all to conqu'ring Beauty bow,
Its pleafing Pow'r admite j
But I ne'er knew a face 'till now,
That like yours could icfpire.
Now I may fay, 1 met with one

Soft as the tender moving Sighs,
When longing Lovers meet ;
Like the divining Prophets wife,
And like blown Rofes fweet :

Each happy Night a Bride ;
A Mien like awful Majefty,
And yet no fpark of Pride.
The Patriarch, to gain a Wife,
Chaft, Beautiful, and Young :
Served fourteen Yeais a painful Life*
And never thought *em long.
Ah! were you to reward fuch Care?,
And Life fo long couldft ftay^
Not fourteen, but four hundred Years,
Would feem but as one Day.

Oh! oh! how file does my Soul alarna!
