The Poetical Works of the Right Hon. George Granville, Lord Lansdowne/60

by George Granville

SENT TO CLARINDA,
WITH A NOVEL, ENTITLED,
LES MALHEURS DE L’AMOUR.

Haſte to Clarinda, and reveal
Whatever pains poor lovers feel;
When that is done, then tell the fair3
That I endure much more for her.
Who ’d truly know love’s pow’r or ſmart,
Muſt view her eyes and read my heart.6
