To Cloris, imploring a revenge.

Cloris stay, and do not flie,
Give an eare to my Petition,
Which I offer up and make,
With submission,
And contrition,
That when you do vengeance take,
For dispenced loyaltie,
Take it only of her eye.
For to captivate a lover,
Let it never more have power,
Take away it's former grace,
May a shower
Spoile the flower,
Of her once admired face,
Where she loveth, ah remove her,
Let her love, but still above her.
Cloris, hark to my desire,
And behold my Sacrifice,
Do not passe too hard a sentence,
Drown her eyes,
With her cryes,
Let her know a sad repentance,
But take mercy in thine ire,
'Cause I once did her admire.
