A SONG.

FOrgive me Jove!
Or, if there be a kinder god above,
Forgive a Reb…l to the Power of Love:
H…r me (kind Cupid) and acc…pt my Vow,
Min…, who …e voutly at t…y Altar Bow;
O! hear me now:
Dorinda …ear, and w…at Ive done amiss
Pardon, and seal that pardon with a Kiss.
Stay! methinks the melting Saint,
Kindly Ecchoes my complaint;
Look! I fancy I descry
Pi…y dropping from her eye;
Ha…k! she says Philander live,
All thy Errours I forgive:
And now, ah me! to repent I begin,
That against so much goodness I ever should Sin;
But never again, oh! never will I,
Offend my Dorinda, for sooner I'le dye.
