I Scorn to Grieve, or Sigh for one,That does my Tears Neglect;If in your Looks you Coldness wear,Or a desire of Change Appear,I can your Vows, your Love, and you Reject.

What refin'd Madness wou'd it be,VVith Tears to dim those Eyes,VVhose Rays, if Grief do not Rebate,Each hour new Lovers might Create,And with each Look, gain a more glorious Prize!
