Last Line: May wound her heart deeper than any!
Alternate Author Name(s): Dorset, 6th Earl Of; Middlesex, 1st Earl Of
Subject(s): Passionless


The dainty young heiress of Lincoln's Inn Fields,
Brisk, beautiful, wealthy, and witty.
To the power of Love so unwillingly yields.
That 'tis feared she'll unpeople the City!
The Sparks and the Beaus all languish and die:
Yet, after the conquest of many.
One little good marksman, that aims with one eye,
May wound her heart deeper than any!
