Why should your eyes for conquest rove, Why others' tender looks return? In Damon's heart you'll find more love Than can in thousand others burn. So tender is his heart, so true, Ev'n love itself you triumph o'er; Unless he dies your pow'r to shew, What would my Flavia seek for more? Tyrants, who would new kingdoms get, Think ev'ry joy is pow'r alone; The monarch who is truly great Contented is to reign in one.
