Dear Fanny.
By Thomas Moore
"She has beauty, but still you must keep your heart cool; "She has wit, but you mustn't be caught, so;" Thus Reason advises, but Reason's a fool, And 'tis not the first time I have thought so, Dear Fanny. 'Tis not the first time I have thought so. "She is lovely; then love her, nor let the bliss fly; "'Tis the charm of youth's vanishing season;" Thus Love has advised me and who will deny That Love reasons much better than Reason, Dear Fanny? Love reasons much better than Reason.
