A Summons to a Seige.
Come thou Paphian Engineer,
since there is no human Art,
can redeem my captiv'd heart;
Oh come and plant thy Canon here.
since there is no human Art,
can redeem my captiv'd heart;
Oh come and plant thy Canon here.
In yon Cittadel there is
a Female wonder, that doth own
a Brest of flesh, but Heart of stone:
Nay sure far more relentless 'tis.
a Female wonder, that doth own
a Brest of flesh, but Heart of stone:
Nay sure far more relentless 'tis.
With my Heart here she thought fit;
to retire secur'd 'gainst war;
but I know thou'lt find it far
More hard to Conquer her than it,
to retire secur'd 'gainst war;
but I know thou'lt find it far
More hard to Conquer her than it,
What no human force could do,
in the conquest of her breast,
my hopes are with faith possest,
That, Love, thou mayest in time subdue.
