Heart be still, I'll sigh no more,
The *oraclc's response saws It's vain,
And spcll-bound, the charm is now Ger,
For Love has broke his ru'iing chain.
Heart be still, ,huu hast bowed too low,
Thy homage WIS lily paid,
Thy hcavinrs none bat can know,
Which fair Amy alone hath made.
Heart be still, though it bursts the cells,
Which contains thy litr's dearest blood
For in thine eye no longer dwells,
The image which thy fancy woocd.
Heart be still, will sigh no more,
For her who never can be mine:
Though loved us none loved before,
The pursuit freely decline.
Heart be still, be cheerful and gay,
Strive not to swim against the tide.
When landings meet you in the way,
TO greet young and lovely bride.
