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