Could I a weakness in thy Heart discern,

Love there might enter and enjoy his turn;

But, tho’ I seek thee early, leave thee late, }

And all day long upon thy pleasure wait, }

I find thee firm as Truth and fixed as Fate. }

Yet, what forbids? my years beyond thy own }

Are few, nor these in peevish Manners shewn; }

My Title, fortune, friends and family are known. }

These are not much; but I have more than these;

Sure, love like mine and faithfulness might please. 50
