Too happy rival dwell not there 35 25 25 25 VERSES written in a LADY'S SHERLOCK upon Death. M Iftaken fair, lay Sherlock by, For whilft he teaches us to die, To die's a leffon we shall know Then let us only ftudy now To live's to love, to blefs, be bleft Share then my ardour in your breast, But if thus blefs'd I may not live, And pity you deny, To me at least your Sherlock give, 'Tis I muft learn to die. SONG. W SONG. HEN Fanny blooming fair Firft caught my ravish'd fight, Admiring ev'ry part, In her bewitching eyes Ten thousand loves appear; There Cupid basking lies, His fhafts are hoarded there, Her blooming cheeks are dy'd With colour all their own, . Excelling far the pride Of rofes newly blown. Her well-turn'd limbs confefs, The lucky hand of Jove; Her features all exprefs The beauteous queen of love : What What flames my nerves invade, Of that too charming maid Venus round Fanny's waist, Who fhall her zone unloose! W SONG. Henever, Chloe, I begin Your heart like mine to move, You tell me of the crying fin Of unchafte lawless love. How can that paffion be a fin, Which gave to Chloe birth? How can those joys but be divine, Which make a heaven on earth? Το To wed, mankind the priest trepann'd, And difobey'd God's great command, Increase and multiply. You say that love's a crime; content: More joy's in heav'n if one repent, Sin then, dear girl, for heaven's fake, INDEX A INDEX to the First Volume.
