Answer 1

Answer:

____________________________

What dire Offence from am'rous Causes springs,

What mighty Contests rise from trivial Things,

I sing—This Verse to Caryll, Muse! is due;

This, ev'n Belinda may vouchsafe to view:

Slight is the Subject, but not so the Praise,

If She inspire, and He approve my Lays.

Say what strange Motive, Goddess! cou'd compel

A well-bred Lord t'assault a gentle Belle?

Oh say what stranger Cause, yet unexplor'd,

Cou'd make a gentle Belle reject a Lord?

In Tasks so bold, can Little Men engage,

and in soft Bosoms dwells such Mighty Rage
