You ev'ry Night may figh for Her in vain;
And rife cach Morning to fome fresh Disdain:
While CELIA's fofteft Look may ceafe to Charm;
And Her Embraces want the Pow'r to warm:
While these fond Arms, thus circling You, may prove
More heavy Chains, than Those of hopeless Love.

Just Gods! All other Things their Like produce:
The Vine arises from her Mother's Juice:
When feeble Plants, or tender Flow'rs decay;
They to their Seed their Images convey:
Where the old Myrtle her good Influence fheds;
Sprigs of like Leaf erect their Filial Heads:
And when the Parent Rofe decays, and dies;
With a resembling Face the Daughter-Buds arise.
That Product only which our Paffions bear,
Eludes the Planter's miferable Care:

While blooming Love affures us Golden Fruit;
Some inborn Poifon taints the fecret Root:

Soon fall the Flow'rs of Joy; foon Seeds of Hatred fhoot.

Say, Shepherd, fay, Are thefe Reflections true?
Or was it but the Woman's Fear, that drew
This cruel Scene, unjust to Love and You?
Will You be only, and for ever Mine?
Shall neither Time, nor Age our Souls disjoin?
From this dear Bofom fhall I ne'er be torn?
Or You grow Cold, Refpectful, and Forsworn?
And can you not for Her You love do more,
Than any Youth for any Nymph before?
