The night her silent sable wore.

Of glittering stars appeared no more
Than t~ose in Nellys eyes.
When to her

let me in.
she with accents all devine,
my fond suit reprove,
while she chid my rash design,
but inflamed my love.
Her beauty oft had :pleased me before,
While her bright eyes did roll,
But virtue only had the power,
To chance my very soul.
Then who would cruelly deceive,
Or from auch beauty part.
I loved her so I could not leave,
The charm of my heart.
My eager fondness I obeyed,
Resolved she should be mine,
Till Hymen to my arms conveyed,
~zy treasure so devine.
How happy in my Nellys love,
Tra.nsp-:>rting in my joy,
No greater blessing can I find,
S-:> blessed a man am I.
For beauty my a while retain,
The conquered fluttering heart,
But virtue only is the claim,
Holds never do depart.
This alas to me is dear
For 1-:>ve it draws the near
In this y-:>u see remember me,
And bear it in mind.
For a hard-l::>oking gtrl,
Like me is hard to find.
