Constancy in Love.
[1]
Tis not ith' pow'r of all thy scornOr unrelenting hate,
To quench my flames, or make them burn
With heat more temperate:
Still do I struggle with despair,
And ever court disdain;
And though you ne'r prove lesse severe,
Ile dote upon my pain.
2
Yet meaner beauties cannot claimeIn Love this tyranny,
They must pretend an equall flame,
Or else our passions die:
You faire Clarinda you alone
Are priz'd at such a rate,
To have a Votary of one
Whom you do reprobate.
