Love
Virtues Vrania.
HOpeless I languish out my days,
Struck with Urania's conqu'ring eyes:
The wretch at whom she darts these rayes
Must feel the wound untill he dies.
Though endless be her cruelty,
Calling her beauties to my mind,
I bow beneath her tyranny,
And dare not murmur she's unkind
Reason this tamness does upbraid,
Proff…ing to arm in my defence;
But when I call her to my aid,
She's more a Traitor then my sense.
No sooner I the warr declare
But strait her succour she denies,
And joyning forces with the fair,
Confirms the conquest of her ey…s.
