A Song.
18th Century Sarah Fyge Egerton EnglishA SONG.
When first I saw Laurinda's Face, I bless'd the dear Surprize, For there was sporting every Grace; Love wanton'd in her Eyes.
A thousand ways she has to move, Not Looks and Smiles alone, Her Shape and Mien might Conquer Jove; And make the God her own.
But oh! the Fair displays her Charms, For Conquest, not Delight; Proudly denies those lovely Arms, To which her Eyes invite.
