To Mollie

Topics: classic

O Mollie, I would I possessed such a heart; It enchants me so gentle and true; I would I possessed all its magical art, Then, Mollie, I would enchant you. Those dear, rosy lips tho' I never caressed them(?) Are as sweet as the wild honey-dew; Your cheeks all the angels in Heaven have blessed them, But not one is as lovely as you. Then give me that heart, O that innocent heart! For mine own is cold and perdu; It enchants me, but give me its magical art, Then, Mollie, I will enchant you.
