Or whether some contention in the breast
Will not permit a feeling heart to rest;
Or was it nature, who in every case
Has made such mind subjected to such face:
Whate’er the cause, no sooner met the pair
Than both began to love, and one to feel despair. 400
But the fair damsel saw with strong delight
Th’ impression made, and gloried in the sight.
No chilling doubt alarm’d her tender breast,
But she rejoiced in all his looks profess’d;
