I felt ten thousand fancies in my mind; The more I kifs'd, the more I was inclin'd. Enrag'd by love, and loft to ev'ry thought, I almoft deign'd to act as paffion taught; For who, when love unto its fummit flies, Can hark to reafon, or from th' banquet rife? That fweet repaft, which to the Gods in vite The richest favours, clad with rich delight! To force averfe, against myself I ftrove, To quell the progrefs of a rapid love; My nerves enfeebled, and my thought infpir'd, My actions taught what prudence had acquir'd; Taught but from honour, that most certain road, Which leads obedient man to folid good. I took my leave of dear Califta's hand, And stood enamour'd at her dear command. Still from a fenfe of what might foon enfue, I faintly prefs'd her hand-and figh'dadícu! Thus, when love ufurps our reafon's throne, How bleft the man who acts from fenfe alone; Who, void of luft-and for a moment's joy, Can fotten paffion-and not his peace annoy! Thrice happy they, who once by love are caught, Can cherish reason, by what reflection taught. D. The FORTUNE TELLER.
