Transcription:
The Choice of Hercules.
By Pleasures siren Accents wooed,
And warn’d by Virtue’s Voice;
Awhile the Hero pensive stood
Then fix’d his glorious Choice
And found, in Virtue’s bright Abode,
The Joys the honors of a God!
O never for the feeling Heart
Be Cup Circean pour’d!
But Virtue purer sweets impart
With Reason’s Blessings stor’d:
Then emulate the Choice divine,
And Bliss shall crown your Valentine.
