To Amanda pledging him.
How the wine smiles, and as she sips,
Tempts her most sweet, coy, modest lips!
The Claret friskes, and faine it woo'd
Help its pale colour in her blood,
And mingling spirits hopes to be
Within her veines immortallie;
Tempts her most sweet, coy, modest lips!
The Claret friskes, and faine it woo'd
Help its pale colour in her blood,
24
Within her veines immortallie;
I envie it perhaps for ever,
It may dwell within her liver;
Howe're 'twill be conveighed at least
Through the chaste cloysters of thy breast,
And entertain'd before it part,
In both the chambers of thy heart;
Oh might I too obtaine my Faire,
Such friendly entertainment there:
Most happy man then should I be,
As thy heart-blood is dear to thee.
It may dwell within her liver;
Howe're 'twill be conveighed at least
Through the chaste cloysters of thy breast,
And entertain'd before it part,
In both the chambers of thy heart;
Oh might I too obtaine my Faire,
Such friendly entertainment there:
Most happy man then should I be,
As thy heart-blood is dear to thee.
