THE EDINBURGH*
Shall a woman's goodnefs move
Me to perifh for her love ?
Or, her worthy merits known,
Make me quite forget my own ?
Be flie with that goodnefs bleft
As may merit name the bed ;
Yet if flie be not fueh to me,
What care I how good fhe be ?
Be flie good, or kind, or fair,
I will never more defpair ;
If fhe love me, this believe,
I will die 'ere fhe fhall grieve ' %
If fhe flight me when I woo,
I will fcorn and let her go,
So if flie be not fit for me,
Whajt care I for whom fhe be ?
