Love in a Riddle.

She that would not, I would chuse

She that would not, I would chuse; She which would, I would refuse: Venus could my Mind but Tame, but not satisfie the same. Inticements offer'd I despise; and deny'd, I slightly prize: I would neither glut my mind, nor yet too much torment find. Thrice girt Diana do not take me, nor Venus naked, Joyful make me: The first no pleasure hath to Joy me, and the last enough to Cloy me. But a Crafty Lass I'de have, that will grant the Love I crave; and Joyn at once in one these two, I will, and yet I will not doe.
