CELIA HAS A THOUSAND CHARMS, by                    
Last Line: But then she's false, as well as fair.
Subject(s): Distrust


CELIA has a thousand charms,
'Tis heaven to lie within her arms;
While I stand gazing on her face,
Some new and some resistless grace
Fills with fresh magic all the place.

But while the nymph I thus adore,
I should my wretched fate deplore;
For oh! Myrtillo, have a care,
Her sweetness is above compare—
But then she's false, as well as fair.
