18th Century George Lyttelton EnglishSONG.
Written in the Year 1732.
By the Same.
I.
SAY, MYRA, why is gentle Love A stranger to that mind, Which pity and esteem can move; Which can be just and kind?
II.
Is it because you fear to share The ills that Love molest: The jealous Doubt, the tender Care, That rack the am'rous breast?
III.
Alas! by some degree of woe We ev'ry bliss must gain: The heart can ne'er a transport know, That never feels a pain.
