My Heart rejects as Treason;

A spark there lies, still fann’d by Sighs,

Ordained by Beauty’s maker,

And fix’d by Fate, burns yet, tho’ late,

For lovely Molly Dacre.

Oh! while I miss the days of Bliss

I pass’d in rapture gazing,

The Dream impress’d still charms my breast

Which Fancy ever raising.

Tho’ much I meet in Life is sweet,
