Charles--and I say it wond'ring--thou must know br That I who once assum'd a scornful air, br And scoff'd at love, am fallen in his snare br (Full many an upright man has fallen so) br Yet think me not thus dazzled by the flow br Of golden locks, or damask cheek; more rare br The heart-felt beauties of my foreign fair; br A mien majestic, with dark brows, that show br The tranquil lustre of a lofty mind; br Words exquisite, of idioms more than one, br And song, whose fascinating pow'r might bind, br And from her sphere draw down the lab'ring Moon, br With such fire-darting eyes, that should I fill br My ears with wax, she would enchant me still.
