Loves Liberty.
1
VVhen Cupid had possest my heartWith Amoreas Love,
And that my more diviner part
My meaner fancies prove,
When my affections all were crost
And she did me deny,
The fallen Angell only lost
So great a Liberty.
2
When not obtaining deep dispairHad conquered my minde
And that a kinde of hopeless fear
Did all my wishes blinde
Wheu I shall call to minde the day
That first I did her see,
With captiv'd soules I then may say
I had a Liberty.
3
When with a Swan-like Song I singMy Amoreas grace,
My Muse must then in changes ring
The wonders of her face,
When with her all commanding Love
My passions are set free,
The Spirits of the Elizium grove
Have no such Liberty.

4
When as I hear her heavenly nameMy Sadness is supprest,
And nothing but a Loyall flame
Doth harbour in my brest,
When with a look my greif is hurl'd
By the charmes of her eye,
Onely the Sun that Rules the world,
Doth know Such liberty.
