A SONG . A thousand Gay obliging Youths , I unconcern'd can see , But when Exalis doth appear ; He shakes my Constancy . In spite of all my Proud Resolves , I soften at his Charms , And almost wish my self to be ; In his regardless Arms . Some milder Power , reverse my Fate , He's doom'd to Love elsewhere , I beg my Passion you'd Translate ; I would not rob his Fair . Let him persue his fond Amour , Grant I may pity those , Who sigh for me and make him kind ; Unto the Nymph he's chose .
