W:Hang this whining way of wooing,
W:Love was design'd a sport
W:Sighing talking without doing
W:Makes a silly idol court;
W:Don't believe that words can move her,
W:If she be not well inclined,
W:She, herself must be the lover
W:To perswade her to be kind.
W:If at last she grants the favour,
W:And consents to be undone,
W:Never think your passion gave her
W:To your wishes but her own.
