A SONG.
When the Winds Rage, and the Seas grow high, They bid mankind beware, But when they smooth, and calm the Sky, 'Tis then they would ensnare.So the bright Thais kindness shows, By frowning on her Lovers, For Ruin only from her flows, When she her Charms discovers.

Where we will quickly follow. aside. Alonzo a word with you —
