EPIGRAM II . SInce first you knew my am'rous smart , Each day augments your proud disdain ; 'Twas then enough to break my heart , And now , thank heav'n ! to break my chain . Cease , thou scorner , cease to shun me ! Now let love and hatred cease ! Half that rigour had undone me , All that rigour gives me peace .
