Still in hopes to get the better
Language: English
Still in hopes to get the better Of my stubborn flame I try; Swear this moment to forget her, And the next my oath deny. Now prepar'd with scorn to treat her, Ev'ry charm in thought I brave; Then relapsing fly to meet her And confess myself her slave.
