Transcription:
Ah, [hot] with rash ungovern’d speed
Be passion’s rapid have pursu’d!
Your steps let wary prudence lead,
Lest she you seek your grasp elude:
For oft the flutt’ring heart with prove
A very Butterfly to Love.
But if each kind, each tender care,
That honor sanctions you employ
And every ruder step forbear,
That timid heart to you shall fly;
There, free from all alarm shall rest,
And dwell securely in your breast.
