ing over-neat becomes à Slattern, is moft certainly in Love.

I fhall make ufe of this Gentleman's Skill as I fee Occafion; and fince I am got upon the Subject of Love, fhall conclude this Paper with a Copy of Verfes which were lately fent me by an unknown Hand, as I look upon them to be above the ordinary Run of Sonne

teers.

THE Author tells me they were written in one of his defpairing Fits; and I find entertains fome Hope that his Mistress may pity fuch a Paffion as he has defcribed, before fhe knows that fhe is herself Corinna.

Conceal, fond Man, conceal the mighty Smart,.
Nor tell Corinna fhe has fir'd thy Heart.
In vain would'st thou complain, in vain pretend
To ask a Pity which fee must not lend,
She's too much thy Superior to comply,
And too too fair to let thy Paffion dye.
Languifh in Secret, and with dumb Surprize
Drink the refiftless Glances of her Eyes.
At awful Distance entertain thy Grief,
Be ftill in Pain, but never ask Relief.
Ne'er tempt her Scorn of thy confuming State;
Be any way undone, but fly her Hate.

Thou

Thou must submit to fee thy Charmer bless Some happier Youth that fall admire her less; Who in that lovely Form, that Heav'nly Mind, Shall miss ten thousand Beauties thou couldst find;

[ocr errors]

Who with low Fancy fhall approach her Charms,
While half enjoy'd she finks into his Arms.
She knows not, must not know, thy nobler Fire,
Whom fhe, and whom the Muses do inspire;
Her Image only fhall thy Breaft employ,
And fill thy captiv'd Soul with Shades of Joy;
Direct thy Dreams by Night, thy Thoughts by
Day';

And never, never, from thy Bofom ftray.
