ODES.

SONG.

I.
WHY we love, and why we hate,  Is not granted us to know; Random chance, or wilful fate,  Guides the shaft from Cupid's bow.
II.If on me Zelinda frown,  Madness 'tis in me to grieve: Since her will is not her own,  Why should I uneasy live?
III.If I for Zelinda dy,  Deaf to poor Mizella's cries, Ask not me the reason why:  Seek the riddle in the skies.
