Loves Charm.
[I]
Vnfold thine Arms, and let me go,Thine Eyes upbraid me with neglect;
My Lips so close to thy Lips grow,
The closeness hinders their Aspect.
II
We first say they found out her face,And to thy wandring heart made known
The purchase of so sweet a place,
To make a dwelling of its own.
III
When men a building do erect,They give not Drudges so much pay
As they do to the Architect,
Who did the first foundation lay.
IV
Compar'd with us, what vertue hathEach other sense; since if it must
Alwayes rely upon our faith
To take Beauty upon trust.
V
Oh! Eyes: why do you thus complain?We dare not rob you of your due;
For our Imbraces onely aim
To humble every sense to you.
