W:2.But she, with accents all divine,
W:    Did my fond suit reprove,
W:  And while she chid my rash design,
W:    She but inflam'd my love.
W:  Her beauty oft had pleas'd before,
W:    While her bright eyes did roll;
W:  But virtue only had the pow'r
W:    To charm my very soul.
W:
W:3.Then who would cruelly deceive,
W:    Or from such beauty part?
W:  I lov'd her so, I could not leave
W:    The charmer of my heart.
W:  My eager fondness I obey'd,
W:    Resolv'd she should be mine,
W:  Till Hymen to my arms conveyed
W:    My treasure so divine.

W:4.Now happy in my Nelly's love,
W:    Transporting is my joy;
W:  No greater blessing can I prove,
W:    So blest a man am I:
W:  For beauty may a while retain
W:    The conquer'd fluttering heart.
W:  But virtue only is the chain,
W:    Holds, never to depart.
