He wooes me to him with a cheerful o- race ] And not one terror clouds his meagre face ' : Clearly he sets the joys of Heaven In view , And shews me that no other joys are true ;' He promises a lasting rest from pain , And shews me that life ' s flittering joys are vain ; But lovefond lovewould fain resist his
