Belinda, see from yonder flow'rs The bee flies loaded to its cell. Can you perceive what it devours; Are they impaired in show or smell? So, though I robbed you of a kiss Sweeter than their ambrosial dew, Why are you angry at my bliss? Has it at all impov'rished you? 'Tis by this cunning I contrive, In spite of your unkind reserve, To keep my famish'd love alive, Which you inhumanely would starve.
