Song: Dorindas sparkling wit and eyesCharles Sackville, Earl of Dorset (16381706)
D
United cast too fierce a light,
Which blazes high, but quickly dies,
Pains not the heart, but hurts the sight.
Smooth are his looks, and soft his pace,
Her Cupid is a blackguard boy,
That runs his link full in your face.
