[Tea-Table Miscellany Contents]
SEnd home my long stray’d eyes to me,
Which ah! too long have dwelt on thee;
But if from thee they’ve learn’d such ill,
To sweetly smile,
And then beguile,
Keep the deceivers, keep them still.
–
Send home my harmless heart again,
Which no unworthy thought cou’d stain;
But if it has been taught by thine,
To forfeit both
Its word and oath,
Keep it, for then ‘tis none of mine.
–
Yet send me home my heart and eyes,
That I may see and know thy lies,
And laugh one day perhaps when thou
Shalt grieve for one
Thy love will scorn,
And prove as false as thou art now.
