To be in love- where scorn is bought with groans,
Coy looks with heart-sore sighs, one fading moment's mirth
With twenty watchful, weary, tedious nights;

However, but a folly bought with wit,
Or else a wit by folly vanquished.
As bleak-fac'd Hallowmass returns,

When rural life, of ev'ry station,
Unite in common recreation;

Forgets there's Care upo' the earth.

But still the hearth is desolate
Till Mirth and Love with Peace return.
