Love Conquer'd.
A Song.
I
The childish God of Love did sweareThus; by my awfull Bow and Quiver,
Yon' weeping, kissing, smiling pair,
I'le scatter all their vowes ith' Ayr,
And their knit imbraces shiver.
II
Up then to th'head with his best ArtFull of spite and envy blowne,
At her constant Marble Heart,
He drawes his swiftest surest Dart,
Which bounded back, and hit his owne.

III
Now the Prince of fires burnes!Flames in the luster of her eyes;
Triumphant she, refuses, scornes;
He submits, adores, and mournes,
And is his Votresse Sacrifice.
IV
Foolish Boye! Resolve me nowWhat 'tis to sigh and not be heard?
He weeping, kneel'd, and made a vow,
The world shall love as yon' fast two,
So on his sing'd wings up he steer'd.
