All other ills, though fharp they prove, From Jealoufy: O Jealoufy! Thou tyrant, tyrant Jealousy, Thou tyrant of the mind. Falfe in thy glass all objects are, Some fet too near, and fome too far: O Jealousy! Thou tyrant, tyrant Jealoufy, SONG L. BY EDMUND WALLER ESQ SAY AY, lovely dream, where could'st thou find Colours of this glorious kind In Heaven itself thou fure wert drest And fee my joy with closed eyes. But ah! this image is too kind Never put on that sweet extreme! Fair dream! if thou intend'st me grace, Paint defpis'd love in thy face, And make it to appear like mine. Pale, wan, and meagre let it look, Such as wander by the brook Of Lethe, or from graves escape. Then to that matchlefs nymph appear, Softly in her fleeping ear, With humble words exprefs my woe. Perhaps from greatnefs, ftate, and pride, Sleep does difproportion hide, SONG SONG LI. LOVE FOR LOVES SAKE. BY MR. HENRY CAREY, I'LL range around the fhady bowers, When, in the fultry heat of day, And drain the floods but fhe fhall drink. At night, to reft her weary head, And with green boughs I'll form a fhade, And whilft diffolv'd in fleep fhe lies, And then, as foon as chearful day Thus Thus will I fpend the day and night, But if the nymph, whom thus I love, SONG LII. BY LORD W LANSDOWN. HY cruel creature, why fo bent, To gold and title you relent; Let glittering fops in courts be great, If on thofe endless charms you lay Kings are themselves too poor to pay But But if a paffion without vice, Ah Celia! if true love's your price, SONG LIII. HE fun was funk beneath the hill, TH The western clouds were lin❜d with gold, The fky was clear, the winds were still, The flocks were pent within the fold; When from the filence of the grove, Poor Damon thus defpair'd of love : Who feeks to pluck the fragrant rose From the bare rock or oozy beach; I have no herds, no fleecy care, No fields that wave with golden grain, No paftures green, or gardens fair, A damfels venal heart to gain; Then all in vain my fighs must prove, For I, alas! have nought but love.
