A WOMAN'S REASON.

Love me not for comely grace,

For my pleasing eye or face,

Nor for any outward part;

No! nor for my constant heart,--

For these may fail, or turn to ill;

So thou and I shall sever:

Keep, therefore, a true woman's eye,

And love me well, but know not why.

So hast thou the same reason still

To dote upon me ever!

Anon.
