Orpheus Caledonius.
XXIII.
For ever^ Forluney wilt thou prove.
FO R ever. Fortune, wilt thou prove^
An unrelenting Foe to Love \
And when we meet a mutual Heart,
Come in between, and bid us part ?
Bid us figh on from Day to Day,
And wifli, and wifh the Soul away 5
Till Youth and genial Years are flown^
And all the Life of Life is gone.
But bufy, bufy ftill art thou,'^
To bind the lovelefs, joylefs Vow;
The Heart from Pleafure to delude^,
And join the Gentle to the Rude.
For once, O Fortune, hear my Prayer^
And I abfolve thy future Care %
AH other Blellings I refign.
Make but the dear Amanda mine.
