Cupid's Monarchy.
If you will Love, know this to be
The Laws of Cupid's Monarchy;
That to Refuse
Is to abuse
Loves Government; and I declare,
That such Loves Rebels, not his Subjects are.

To Love is not to be your Owne,
Love studies to please them alone
Whom it affects
With most respects
Of ought beside; for Love confin'd
Is but by Usurpation Love defin'd.

If you did Love as true as I,
You nothing would or cold deny,
But would conceive
That you receive
What you bestow: If this were true,
Your Heart would dwell in me as I in you.
