Same Tone.
O Lovely maid, how dear's thy powr.
At once 1 love, at once adore:
With wonder are my thoughts poffeft,
While fofteft love infpires my breaft.
This tender look,thefe eyes of mine,
Confers their amVous mafter thine;
Thefe eyes with Strephons paifion play;
Firft make me love, and then betray.
Yes, Charming Victor, I am thine,
Poor as it is, this heart of mine
Was never in another's pow'r, . ,
Was never piercd by love before.
In thee I ve tre&fur'd up my joy,
Thou canTt give blifs,or blifs deftroy:.
And thus iVe bour.d myfelf to love,
While blifs or mifery can move.
O fhould I ne'er poffefs thy charms,
Ne'er meet my comfort in my arms.
Were hopes of dear enjoyment gone,
Still would I love,love thee alone.
But, like fome difcontented fhade,
That wanders where its body's laid,
Mournful I'd roam with hollow glare,
For ever exil'd from my fair.

J*J Bid us fish on from day to day, And wifh & wifh the foul a _ way, Till
<** youth ^nd genial jears are flown, And all the life of love is gone?
