LOVE FOR LOVE.
I ne'er could any lustre see In eyes that would not look on me ; I ne er saw nectar on a lip, But where my own did hope to sip. Has the maid who seeks my heart Cheeks of rose, untouched by art ? I will own the colour true, When yielding blushes aid. their hue. Li her hand so soft and pure ? I must press it to be sure ; Nor can I be certain then, Till it, imiteful, press again. Must I, with attentive eye, Watch her heaving: bosom sigh ? I will do so, when I see That hearing bosom sigh for me.
