BEWARE OF THE COQUETTE, 
Keep away ! Keep away ! 
Too bright is her glance, 
And doubt soon will stay 
Hope’s frolicsome dance— 
Keep away'

Too sweet is her tone, 
E’er long it will sway,

Keep away ! keep away ! 
Too great is thy bliss, 
And sadness alway 
Blasts delight such as this,— 
Keep away 1
