The doubting Lover.

Through doubt, desire, he friezes, burns
(Quotidian Ague) both Zoanes turns,
Torrid, frozen: Lauds his Saint, adores;
Hugs his late slavery, yet deplores:
Thanks, blames his Stars, as kind, unkind;
Can talk t'himself, and wandring Wind;
Fool it with th' Eccho, pleas'd with Trees
Lone Rocks and Cells Societies:
Kisses his Chain, lov'd poyson'd Dart;
Hopes, fears: a poor Convulsion'd Heart!
189

Man of all weathers; lowrs this hour,
Next smiles; 'tis Sun-shine, Hony-shower.
How's her words poys'd! her each glance, look
How Anatomiz'd! Star-gaze, his Book:
He Nods, Sighs, Breaths, by Rule; so sore,
Love's Good-behaviour, binds all o're.
Idols his Creed; his Trade inrol'd
Under-ground delving, though seeks Gold.
In brief some Heaven's, more Hells do seize him.
Nought but t'enjoy or dye, can ease him.
