Love admits no Rivall.
[I]
Indeed I never was but once so madTo dote upon the Beauty of a Face;
And then, alas! my fortune was so bad,
To see another chosen in my place;
And yet I courted Her I'm very sure
With Love as true as his, and full as pure.
II
But if I ever be so fond againTo undertake the second part of Love;
Or reassume that most unhappy pain,
Or after Shipwrack do the Ocean prove:
She shall be tender-hearted, kind and free;
Or I'le be as Indifferent as She.
