<poem>Not, Celia, that I juster am | |||
Or better than the rest; | |||
For I would change each hour like them, | |||
Were not my heart at rest. | |||
But I am tied to very thee | |||
By every thought I have; | |||
Thy face I only care to see, | |||
Thy heart I only crave. | |||
All that in woman is adored | |||
In thy dear self I find; | |||
For the whole sex can but afford | |||
The handsome and the kind. | |||
Why then should I seek further store, | |||
And still make love anew? | |||
When change itself can give no more, | |||
’Tis easy to be true.</poem> | |||

English text
Not, Celia, that I juster am
Or better than the rest;
For I would change each hour like them,
Were not my heart at rest.
But I am tied to very thee
By every thought I have;
Thy face I only care to see,
Thy heart I only crave.
All that in woman is adored
In thy dear self I find;
For the whole sex can but afford
The handsome and the kind.
Why then should I seek further store,
And still make love anew?
When change itself can give no more,
’Tis easy to be true.
