SONG IV.

[Chloris forbear a While]

1

Chloris forbear a While,
Do not o're joy me,
Vrge not another Smile
Lest it Destroy me.

7

That Beauty pleases most,
And is Best taking
Which soon is Woon, soon lost
Kind, yet forsaking.
I Love a Coming Lady faith! I do!
But now and then, I'de have her scornful too.

2

Ore cloud those Eyes of thine,
Bo-peepe thy Features
Warme with an April shine,
Scorch not thy Creatures:
Still to display thy Ware
Still to be fooling,
Argues how rude you are
In Cupides Schooling
Disdain begets a Suit, Scorn draws us nigh,
'Tis cause I would, and cannot, makes me Try.

3

Fayrest, I'de have the: Wise,
When Gallants view thee.
And Court, do thou despise;
Flye, they'l persue thee,
Fasts move an Appetite,
Make Hunger greater
Who's stinted of Delight,
Fall's to't the better.
Be Kind and Coy by turns, be calme & rough!
And buckle now and then, and that's enough.
