( 8 )
Never to each other be cruel,
but sustain what nature made.
When I view thy charming features,
then with raptures I’m carest.
You are the loveliest of all creatures,
with you alone I’m truly blest.
Nature has made you so endearing,
without the help of any art,
I cannot rest without declaring,
it’s you alone has won my heart.
I will never be a rover
for I’m happy in your charms,
I’ll not change thee for another,
I could die within your arms.
The GRATEFUL ADMIRER.
I'll ne’er persue revenge;
For still the charmer I approve,
tho’ I deplore her change
In hours of bliss we oft have made,
they could not always last;
But though the present I regret,
I’m grateful for the last. I’m grateful, &c.
