SONG VI. The Complaint.
I
To me y'ave made a thousand Vows,A thousand tender Things have said;
I gave you all that Love allows,
The naked Pleasure of the Bed.
II
Yet now my Eyes have lost their Charms,Or you abate in your Desire:
You dream y'ave Cælia in your Arms,
And burn with an unhallow'd Fire.
9
III
Aloud you Name her in your Sleep;Or if toward me y'are pleas'd to stir,
(A Kindness that but makes me weep)
'Tis only when you think of her.
