Loves Flattery.
I can love for an hour when I'm at leasure,
He that loves half a day fools without measure:
Cupid then tell me what art had thy mother,
To make men love one face more than another?
He that loves half a day fools without measure:
Cupid then tell me what art had thy mother,
To make men love one face more than another?
Some to be thought more wise daily endevour
To make the World believe they can live for ever:
Ladies believe them not, they'l but deceive you,
For when they have their ends then they will leave you.
To make the World believe they can live for ever:
Ladies believe them not, they'l but deceive you,
For when they have their ends then they will leave you.
Men cannot tyre themselves on your sweet features,
They'l have variety of loving Creatures.
Too much of any thing sets them a cooling,
Though they can never do't, yet they'l be fooling.
They'l have variety of loving Creatures.
Too much of any thing sets them a cooling,
Though they can never do't, yet they'l be fooling.
