<L>THe night her blacke&s;t &s;abled wore,</L>
<L>all glooming were the Skies,</L>
<L>And glittering Stars there were no more</L>
<L>then tho&s;e in <HI>Stella's</HI> Eyes:</L>
<L>When at her Fathers Gate I knockt,</L>
<L>where I had often been,</L>
<L>And shrouded only in her &amp; mock,</L>
<L><HI>The fair one let me in.</HI></L>
<GAP DESC="missing">
<L>Fa&s;t lock'd within my clo&s;e embrace</L>
<L>&s;he blu&s;hing lay a&s;ham'd;</L>
<L>Her &s;welling Brea&s;ts, and glowing face,</L>
<L>and every touch inflam'd</L>
<L>My eager pa&s;&s;ion; I obey'd,</L>
<L>re&s;olving the Fort to win,</L>
<L>And her fond heart was &s;oon betray'd:</L>

<L>Then, then, beyond expre&s;&s;ing,</L>
<L>immortal was the joy,</L>
<L>I knew no greater Ble&s;&s;ing,</L>
<L>&s;o happy then was I:</L>
<L>And &s;he, tran&s;porter with delight,</L>
<L>oft prayed me to come again,</L>
<L>And kindly vow'd that e'ry night</L>
<L><HI>&s;he'd ri&s;e and let me in.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But, ah! at la&s;t &s;he prov'd with Bearn,</L>
<L>and &s;ighing &s;ate, and dull;</L>
<L>And I, who had as much concern,</L>
<L>lookt then ju&s;t like a fooll:</L>
<L>Her lovely eyes with tears ran down,</L>
<L>repenting her ra&s;h Sin,</L>
<L>She &s;igh'd and cur&s;t that fatal hour</L>
<L><HI>that e're &s;he let me in.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But who cou'd cruelty deceive,</L>
<L>or from &s;uch beauty part?</L>
<L>I lov'd her &s;o I could not leave.</L>
<L>the Charmer for my heart;</L>
<L>But wedded, and conceal'd the Crime;</L>
<L>thus all was well again,</L>
<L>And now &s;he thanks the ble&s;&s;ed time.</L>
<L><HI>that e're &s;he let me in.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Such wanton young&s;ters &s;eldom prove</L>
<L>&s;o true at heart as I,</L>
<L>But when they gain a Dam&s;els Love,</L>
<L>too oft away they fly:</L>
<L>While&s;t I &s;uch Treachery abhor,</L>
<L>for 'tis a deadly &s;in,</L>
<L>And now no cau&s;e &s;he has to grieve</L>
<L><HI>that &s;he did let me in.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Tho&s;e Ro&s;ie-blu&s;hes that did &s;tain</L>
<L>her Cheeks, do now grow pale,</L>
<L>Her heart is now rewv'd again,</L>
<L>&s;ighs did with me prevail:</L>
<L>She grieved was, and I perplext,</L>
<L>but now rejoyce again,</L>
<L>And <HI>Stella</HI> now no more is vext</L>
<L><HI>becau&s;e &s;he let me in.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When young <HI>Adonis</HI> call'd to mind</L>
<L>the tricks of wanton youth;</L>
<L>He cry'd, my <HI>Stella</HI> &s;he was kind:</L>
<L>this is the very truth.</L>
<L>Do, &s;he, thou now ha&s;t got the knack</L>
<L>a tender heart to win,</L>
<L>Good Lodging thou &s;halt never lack,</L>
<L><HI>for I will let thee in.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>With fiery eyes he then beheld</L>
<L><HI>Stella,</HI> his hearts delight;</L>
<L>He bow'd to love he was compell'd</L>
<L>by charms of beauty bright:</L>
<L>A thou&s;and times he did, her ki&s;s,</L>
<L>and then &s;he did begin,</L>
<L>And &s;aid, there is no joy like this:</L>
<L><HI>I'me glad I have let thee in.</HI></L>
