Disdain returned.
[I]
He that loves a Rosie cheek,Or a Corall lip admires;
Or from Star-like eyes doth seek
Fuel to maintain his fires,
As old Time makes these decay,
So his flames must waste away.
II
But a smooth and stedfast mind,Gentle thoughts, and calm desires,
Hearts with equall love combin'd,
Kindle never-dying fires:
Where these are not, I despise
Lovely Cheeks, or Lips or Eyes.
III
Cælia, now no tears can winMy resolv'd heart to return;
I have search'd thy soul within,
And find nought but pride and scorn:
I have learn'd those Arts, and now
Can disdain as much as thou.
Some God in my revenge convey
That Love to her I cast away.
That Love to her I cast away.
