To a Lady, who fled the sight of him.
IF I my Celia cou'd perswadeTo see those wounds her eyes have made,And hear whilst I that passion tell,Which, like her self, does so excel,How soon we might be freed from care!She need not fear, nor I despair.
Such Beauty does the Nymph protect,That all approach her with respect;And can I offer violenceWhere love does joyn in her defence?
descriptionPage 53
This guard might all her fears disperse,Did she with Savages converse.Then my Celia wou'd surprizeWith what's produc'd by her own eyes;Those matchless flames which they inspireIn her own Breast, shou'd raise a fireFor Love, but with more subtil Art,As well as Beauty charms the Heart.
