    Do proper homage to thine idol's eyes;
    But no too humbly, or she will despise
    Thee and thy suit, though told in moving tropes:
    Disguise even tenderness if thou art wise.

Some are soon bagg'd but some reject three dozen.

Poor Frederick, why did she accord perusals
To his billets? Why waltz with him? Why, I pray,
Look yes least night, and yet say No to-day?"

Still a lovelorn heart pursuing,

Never wedding, ever wooing,
Still a lovelorn heart pursuing,
Read you not the wrong you're doing
In my cheek's pale hue?
All my life with sorrow strewing;
Wed or cease to woo.

Will not look the same by day.

Her heart be sure is not of ice,

Who listens once will listen twice;
Her heart be sure is not of ice,
And one refusal no rebuff.
