Poem by Robert Craggs, Earl Nugent

Epigram 7. I Swore I lov'd, and you believ'd

I Swore I lov'd, and you believ'd,
Yet, trust me, we were both deceiv'd;
Tho' all I swore, was true.
I lov'd one gen'rous, good, and kind,
A form created in my mind;
And thought that form was you.

1. Epigram 3. MY heart still hovering round about you
2. Epigram 10. WHILE Lucy, chaste as mountain snows
3. Epigram 2. SInce first you knew my am'rous smart
4. Epigram 14. TOM thought a wild profusion great
5. Epigram 17. VAINLY hath heaven denounc'd the woman's woes
