Last Line: Betray a kinder story.
Alternate Author Name(s): Rochester, 2d Earl Of
At last you'll force me to confess
You need no arts to vanquish:
Such charms from nature you possess,
'Twere dullness not to languish.
Yet spare a heart you may surprise,
And give my tongue the glory
To scorn, while my unfaithful eyes
Betray a kinder story.
