Or cheated by Love in a Cottage,
Or Shepherds enchantingly crook'd.
Too well, dear, we know modern men's tone,
Of "briar" the pipes which they blow.
Say, have you gone soft à la Shenstone?
My own Angelina, say "No!"
Remember the cynic romances
We read in that Devonshire glen!
We are not the slaves of girl-fancies,
We've learned far too much about Men!
