The POWER of LOVE.
SUbjected to the pow'r of love,
by Nelly's restless charms,
The fancy fix'd no more can rove,
or fly love's soft alarms.
Gay Damon had the skill to shun,
all traps by Cupid laid,
Until his freedom was undone,
by Nell the conquering maid.
But who can stand the force of love,
when she resolves to kill;
Her sparkling eyes love's arrows prove,
and wound us with our will O happy Damon, happy fair,
what Cupid had begun,
May faithful Hymen take a care,
to see it fairly done.
