A Watch.
Emblem of youth and innocence
With walls enclosed for my defence,
And with no care opprest,
I boldly spread my charms around,
'Till some rude lover breaks the mound,
And takes me to his breast.
Here soon I sicken and decay:
My beauty lost, I'm turned away,
And thrown into the street;
Where I despised, neglected lie,
See no Samaritans pass by,
But numerous insults meet.
