ODE.
I.
AND why in red dost thou appear?Heavens! how you look, and how I gaze?Can you the Martial Livery wear,And with it tread the Lovers Maze?Though red and furious you are seen,I'm sure you're white and kind within.
II.
For you I sigh, I grieve alone;Give me your Heart to ease my pain;I'll kindly mark it for mine own,And give it back to you again:Free from times blot, my Name shall rest,Enroll'd so safe within your Breast.
