Lyrics: Anon
Not on beauty's transient pleasure,
Which no real joys impart,
Nor on heaps of sordid treasure
Did I fix my youthful heart.
'Twas not Chloe's perfect feature
Did the fickle wand'rer bind;
Nor her form, the boast of nature;
'Twas alone her spotless mind.
Take, ye swains, the real blessing,
That will joys for life secure;
The virtuous mind alone possessing
Will your lasting bliss secure.
Not on beauty's transient pleasure,
Which no real joys impart,
Nor on heaps of sordid treasure
Did I fix my youthful heart.
'Twas not Chloe's perfect feature
Did the fickle wand'rer bind;
Nor her form, the boast of nature;
'Twas alone her spotless mind.
Take, ye swains, the real blessing,
That will joys for life secure;
The virtuous mind alone possessing
Will your lasting bliss secure.
