A Farewel to Love.

ONce more Loves mighty chains are broke, His strength and cunning I defie, Once more I have thrown off his yoke, And am a man, and do despise the Boy. Thanks to her pride, and her disdain, And all the follies of a scornful mind, I had ne're possest my heart again, If fair Miranda had been kind.
Welcome fond wanderer, as ease And plenty to a wretch in pain, That worn with want and a disease, Enjoys his health and all his friends again.

Page 28

Let others waste their time and youth, VVatch and look pale, to gain a peevish maid, And learn too late this dear-bought truth, At length they're sure to be betray'd.
