Orpheus Caledonius.
Vd be a Mifer too, nor give
An Alms to keep a God alive.
Oh fmile not thus, my lovely Fair,
On thefe cold Looks, that lifelefs Air,
Prize him whofe Bofom glows with Fire,
With eager Love and foft Defire.
'Tis true, thy Charms, O powerful Maid^
To Life can bring the filent Shade :
Thou can'ft furpaft the Painter's Art j
And real Warmth and Flames impart.
But oh ! it ne'er can love like me,
I've ever lov'd, and lov'd but thee :
Then, Charmer, grant my fond Requeft,
Say thou can'ft love, and make me bleft.
