Damon, if your Love be true
To the Heart that you possess,
Tell me what have you to do
Where you have no Tenderness?
Her Affairs who cares to learn,
For whom he has not some Concern?
If a Lover fain would know
If the Object lov’d be true,
Let her but industrious be
To watch his Curiosity;
Tho’ ne’er so cold his Questions seem,
They come from warmer Thoughts within.
When I hear a Swain enquire
What gay Melinda does to live,
I conclude there is some Fire
In a Heart inquisitive;
Or ’tis, at least, the Bill that’s set
To shew, The Heart is to be let.
