What unrevenged, unguarded wrong,

Could urge thee thus to wound my tongue?

Perhaps you deem the afflictive pains

Too trifling, which my heart sustains,

Nor think enough my bosom smarts

With all the sure, destructive darts

Incessant sped from every charm,

That thus your wanton teeth must harm,

Must harm that little tuneful thing,

Which wont so oft thy praise to sing,
