FAITHLESS.
Reading edition
Oh call me not a faithless friend! The charge I cannot bear, When spoken by such lips as thine, By one so sweetly fair.
Pray yield me but the chance to tell, The time to give to thee A reason, and it will dispel The doubts ye now can see.
Blest is the man whose onward course Is free from every ill, Who also doth impartially Love’s golden censer fill.
