SONG IV.

I

My dearest Mistress, hath an heart,
Kind, as those soft looks she gave me;
When with her resistless arts,
And her Eyes she did inslave me.

16

But her Constancy's so weak,
She's so wild and apt to wander,
That my Jealous heart will break,
If that we live one Day asunder.

II

Melting Joys about her move,
Killing Charms, and wounding blisses,
She can arm herself with love,
And her lips can Charm with kisses,
Angels listen when she speaks,
She's my delight and mankinds wonder,
Yet my Jealous heart she breaks,
If that we lye one night asunder.
