ADVICE TO THE FAIR SEX.

WHEN the shepherd seeks to woo,
mind them left they faithless prove,
But if once you find them true,
fear not to reward their love.

Let not beauty make you vain,
men of worth deserves your care;
Never give a lover pain
if you find his heart sincere.

Love, the source of every joy,
ask whatever we can give,
Love should every hour employ,
’tis for love alone we live.
