To the same Gentleman.
18th Century Elizabeth Rowe EnglishTo the same Gentleman.
AH lay this cruel Artifice aside, This barbarous distance, and affected Pride; Or else resign my heart, which is too great For you in this imperious way to treat. I know you'r gay and charming as the Spring, And that I ne'r beheld a lovelier thing, But know as well the influence of my Eyes, Nor can you think my heart a vulgar prize.
