Tho' you weep not, for Tears uncertain rise,
Bending aside, yet seem to wipe your Eyes.
Now is the time your Blessings to improve,
Now is the time for happy mutual Love.
Urge now the Fair her Passion to confess,
Her Eyes speak Love, nor let her Tongue speak less.
Fond, tender Words, soft as her Tears, shall glide,
Love ever flows in Sorrow's gentle Tide.
