Bide ye yet (1825)/Variety is charming

---

variety is charming.

I’m in love with twenty.
I’m in love with twenty,
And could adore
As many more,
There s nothing like a plenty.

Variety is charming,
Variety is charming,
A constancy
Is not for me,
So ladies take your warning.

For a man in one love,
For a man in one love,
He looks as poor
As any boor,
For a man in one love.
Variety, &e.

Girls grown old and ugly,
Girls grown old and ugly,
They can’t inspire
The same desire,
As when their young and smugly.
Variety, &c.

‘Tis not the grand regalia,
‘Tis not the grand regalia,
Of eastern kings,
That poets sings,
But O the sweet seraglio.
Variety, &c.
