English text
- Love arms himself in Celia’s eyes
- Whene’er weak reason would rebel,
- And ev’ry time I dare be wise,
- Alas a deeper wound I feel.
- Repeated thoughts present the ill,
- Which seeing I must still endure,
- They tell me love has darts to kill
- And wisdom has no pow’r to cure.
- Then cruel reason give me rest.
- Quit in my heart thy feeble hold,
- Go try thy force in Celia’s breast,
- For that is disengag’d and cold.
- There all thy nicest arts employ,
- Confess thyself her beauty’s slave,
- And argue whilst she may destroy
- How great, how godlike ’tis to save
Lyrics: Matthew Prior - (1664-1721)
