Stella! Thou False One
Amelia Alderson Opie
1769 to 1853
Stella! thou false one, forever adieu,
No longer thy captive for mercy I'll sue
I'll for artless beauties sigh,
And Coquettes like thee, I'll fly,
I'll that voice admire no more,
Nor that matchless form adore,
And that glance so arch and sweet,
I with unconcern will meet,
Touch me and no longer now,
Shall my cheek with blushes glow
Stella! O chide not, thy pardon I crave,
My vaunting my freedom, but proves me thy slave.
