[To Violanta constant love]
To Violanta constant loveFond Callignotus sighing swore:
He vow'd that none his heart shou'd move,
His heart, that ne'er shou'd vary more.
175
Which languishing young lovers swear,
To heav'n did never make their way,
Cou'd never reach immortal ear!
For now he burns with other fires,
And wretched Violanta scorns,
Who, while new love his heart inspires,
Unnoted quite complains and mourns.
