The IDEA.
By Charles Cotton, Esq.
ART thou then absent, O thou dearAnd only Subject of my Flame?Are these fair Objects that appearBut shadows of that noble frame,For which I do all other form disclaim?
Am I deluded? do I only rave?Was it a Phantasme only that I saw?Have Dreams such power to deceive?
descriptionPage 134
Oh, lovely Shade, thou did'st too soon withdraw,Like fleecy Snow, that as it falls, doth thaw.
Glorious Illusion! Lovely shade!Once more deceive me with thy light;'Tis pleasure so to be betray'd,And I for ever shall delight,To be pursu'd by such a charming Sprite.
