Love’s but the frailty of the mind Lyrics by John Eccles

0

Love's but the frailty of the mind
When ’tis not with ambition joined;
A sickly flame, which, if not fed, expires
And feeding, wastes in self-consuming fires
'Tis not to wound a wanton boy
Or amorous youth, that gives the joy;
But 'tis the glory to have pierced a swain
For whom inferior beauties sighed in vain
Then I alone the conquest prize
When I insult a rival’s eyes;
If there's delight in love, 'tis when I see
That heart, which others bleed for, bleed for me
