¶Lyrics / Text

Not, Celia, that I juster am Or better than the rest; For I would change each hour like them, Were not my heart at rest. But I am tied to very thee By every thought I have; Thy face I only care to see, Thy heart I only crave. All that in woman is adored In thy dear self I find; For the whole sex can but afford The handsome and the kind. Why then should I seek further store, And still make love anew? When change itself can give no more, ’Tis easy to be true.
