Poem by Robert Craggs, Earl Nugent

Epigram 2. SInce first you knew my am'rous smart

SInce first you knew my am'rous smart,
Each day augments your proud disdain;
'Twas then enough to break my heart,
And now, thank heav'n! to break my chain.
Cease, thou scorner, cease to shun me!
Now let love and hatred cease!
Half that rigour had undone me,
All that rigour gives me peace.

1. Epigram 17. VAINLY hath heaven denounc'd the woman's woes
2. Epigram 10. WHILE Lucy, chaste as mountain snows
3. Epigram 3. MY heart still hovering round about you
4. Epigram 7. I Swore I lov'd, and you believ'd
5. Epigram 5. THO' cheerful, discreet, and with freedom well bred
