Song by Mary De La Riviere Manley |
Ah, Dangerous Swain, tell me no more,
Thy Happy Nymph you Worship and Adore!
When thy fill'd Eyes are sparkling at her Name,
I raving wish that mine had caus'd the Flame.
If by your fire to her you can impart
Diffusive heat to warm another's heart;
Ah, dangerous Swain, what would the ruin be,
Should you but once persuade you burn for me!
.....Song by Mary De La Riviere Manley (1663-1724)
