Can there be gods ?-has she not falsely swore?Yet is the beauty that she was before!The curious tresses of her dangling hair,As long, and graceful still as e'er they were;That same inimitable white and red,Which o'er her face was so distinctly spread,The roses, and the lilies keep their place,And ev'ry feature still as justly grace;Her sparkling eyes their lustre still retain,That form, that perfect shape does still remain,As if she ne'er had sinn'd ; and heav'n, ('tis plain)Suff'ring the fairer sex to break their vows,To the superior pow'r of beauty bows.T' inforce my credit to her perjuries,
