Sin, quæ difpenfant mortalia fila, forores Impofito prohibent folvere colla jugo; Si me fata jubent æternam ferre catenam, Tu faltèm MIRE parilem, puer, incute plagam; Languefcat, quæfo, vulnere nympha pari : Hæc quoque cognofcat quid fit fuccumbere amori, Tranfadigatque animas una fagitta duas. Quæritis, undè mihi toties fcribantur amores? Severely kind, apply'd; Tugg'd at the shaft with friendly care, Stern is her art, but fure to heal Love's woes (those woes abound!) If memory with officious zeal Vex not the closing wound. |
