Versos English Thomas Godfrey Songs II

English poem

Songs II

by (1736–1763)

Listen in the reader

When in Celia's heav'nly Eye Soft inviting Love I spy, Tho' you say 'tis all a cheat, I must clasp the dear deceit.

Why should I more knowledge gain, When it only gives me pain? If deceiv'd I'm still at rest, In the sweet Delusion blest.
