Tixall Poetry/The Same

by unknown author

LXVII.

The Same.

 

---

 

Farewell all those happy days,
 I past new pleasures still persuing,
Since I saw Lavinia's face,
 I from that moment date ray ruin.

Wit adorn'd with ev'ry charm,
 And Beauty in its youthfull splendor,
Hearts best guarded soon disarme,
 And force the wisest to surrender.
