Fragment,—Why, Why Tell The Lover

    fragment,—why, why tell the lover
    tune—“caledonian hunt's delight.”
    why, why tell thy lover
    bliss he never must enjoy”?
    why, why undeceive him,
    and give all his hopes the lie?
    o why, while fancy, raptur'd slumbers,
    chloris, chloris all the theme,
    why, why would'st thou, cruel—
    wake thy lover from his dream?
