Constancy in Love.
Love me no more, or else with scorn despise
All other Loves, though made your Sacrifice:
A Prince for Rivall should not share a bliss,
Till Fate decide it either mine or his.
In Love and Courage, Titles has no Claim,
Merit and Virtue give the highest Name.

Merit and Virtue give the highest Name.
Let then thy Cupid soar on Honours wings,
Thy Constancy and Love appear like Twins;
So shall thy Mind excell thy Shape much more
Than thou all other Beauties didst before,
Crowning with glory both thy self and me,
And when thou dy'st be thought a Deitie.
Thy Constancy and Love appear like Twins;
So shall thy Mind excell thy Shape much more
Than thou all other Beauties didst before,
Crowning with glory both thy self and me,
And when thou dy'st be thought a Deitie.
