Description

Transcription:
Love, on light Wings, as Poets say
From Chime to Chime pursues his Way,
And Show ye not that Love imparts
His pow’r of Flight to Ladies hearts?
Behold a heart which thus prepar’d
Esteems those Wings its holiest Guard:
It flies from Anger’s wordy War,
From Bacchanalian Riot far,
Shuns the coarse manners, vulgar mind,
But Loves to live with Taste refin’d:
And when it finds a gentle Breast,
Where Constancy and honour rest,
If joys a happy home to prove
And yields his useless Wings to Love.
Then make Affection’s Treasures thine,
And greet this tender Valentine.
