Her only ground, remaining unsubdued,

Surrendered when the vanquisher pursued,

Who every thing submitted to his will,

And tears no more her eyes were found to fill;

Shame took to flight, and scruples spread the wing;

How happy those whom duping GAIN can bring!

TOO soon Aurora for our spark appeared;

Too soon for her so thoroughly revered;

Said he, the poison, that can life devour,

Requires repeated acts to crush its pow'r.
