SONGS.


SONG I.

COME here fond youth, whoe'er thou be,
That boaſts to love as well as me;
And if thy breaſt have felt ſo wide a wound,
 Come hither and thy flame approve;
 I'll teach thee what it is to love,
And by what marks true paſſion may be found.

 It is to be all bath'd in tears;
 To live upon a ſmile for years;
To lie whole ages at a beauty's feet:
