To the Minnuet Tune.
SInce my free hopes are tost on dispair,
And faithless Armeda is deaf to my Prayer:
This to her frailty of power I'le shove,
That which gives me dispair can ne're force me to love.
Beauty in flames, where affection is poor,
There the blind Sott, though he's kickt out a door,
Will still her good Nature and Beauty Implore.
Fondness of love is obliging in no man,
Wheadles and Amorous dying is common.
'Tis the true heart (remov'd by a scorn,)
Can place a love that ne're shall be worn.
