When to Love's influence woman yields,She loves for life! and daily feelsProgressive tenderness!--each hourConfirms, extends, the tyrant's power!Her lover is her god! her fate!--Vain pleasures, riches, wordly state,Are trifles all!--each sacrificeBecomes a dear and valued prize,If made for him, e'en tho' he provesForgetful of their former loves!
