SONG XVII.
I
Sitting beyond a River-side,Parthenia thus to Cloe cry'd,
While from the fair Nymphs eyes apace
Another stream o'r-clouds her beauteous Face,
Happy Nymph is she that can
So little trust to faithless man.
II
Oft the perfideous things would cry,They love, they bleed, they burn, they die:
But if they're absent half a day,
Nay, if they stay but one poor hour away,
No more they die, no more complain,
But, like unconstant Wretches, live again.
