Love
Seeing a Lady at a Play call'd A Trip to the Jubilee
From Amasia (1700), Vol. III
Love
The Scene seems now a Melancholy place,
Here gaze, my Eyes, here revel, and Embrace,
And press, and Kiss, at every glance, that Face.
Let both the Author and his Play seek Rome,
Beauty, I'm sure, keeps Jubilee at home.
