'WOULD you a bappy lver be 2

This maxim is the golden rule
Of al! the learned in Love’s School ?
Would yoz be iv’d, discreet thembe
The key of hearts is secrecy.
Those who Love's {6 pafion blame,
In vain malign bis purest flame ;
diove is the virtue of the Joul,
When Prudence regulates the abole.
Would you be lov’d, discreet ther be,%c_
Your pleasure learn Fow 25 refirain,
Be secret, th' it gives you pain 3
A thoughtless word may oft destroy
Fhe faireff hopes of promised joy
Would yorcbe lov’dy difcrect then be,fe.
Your conquest then alone impart
To that beff confidant, your heart ;
And tho’ your glory may seem less,
Tasill be repaid in happiness,
Would you be Inv'd, discreet then beyiSc.
