The Cure.
1.
Come, Doctor, use thy roughest art,Thou canst not cruel prove;
Cut, burn, and torture every part,
To heal me of my Love.
2.
There is no danger, if the painShould me to 'a Feaver bring;
Compar'd with Heats I now sustain,
A Feaver is so Cool a thing,
(Like drink which feaverish men desire)
That I should hope 'twould almost quench my Fire.
