without your fair approval.......

Pretense

Let not your fiery eyes despise,

All worth departs without your fair approval;

Let not your fearsome cries chastise,

All hope dissolves in fear of love’s removal.

Forgive me, for I haven’t the sense,

Forget me, pray take no offense;

Rebuke me, be not so incensed,

Embrace me, let your ire be pretense.
