What meant AVARO by the
Has any of your  Damsels made
A  of what such godlike Beings said?
Or is it customary to your Clime?
Has ever Youth committed such a
As Has any there
Deluded first, and then forsook, the Fair?
I cannot think, your Love will e'er decline,
Nor can my radiant Angel question mine.
By yon bright Beams, which paint the rising Day;
By thy bright Charms, as beautiful as they;
By all our pleasing Hours of Love, I vow
To share your Fate thro' ev'ry Scene of Woe;
Content, with you, to yield my vital Breath;
For Life, without you, would but lengthen Death.
