Love in a Calme.
[I]
How cool and temperate I am grown,Since I could call my heart my own?
Beauty and I now calmly play,
Whilst others burn and melt away:
Not all those wanton hours I have spent,
Can rob me of this new content.
II
Loves mists are scattered from my sight,Which flattered me with new delight,
And now I see 'tis but a face
That stole my heart out of its place:
Then Love forgive me, I'le no more
Thine Altars or thy Shrine adore.
III
Farewell to all heart-breaking eyes,Farewell each look that can surprize,
Farewell those curls and amorous spels,
Farewell each place where Cupid dwels;
And farewell each bewitching smile,
I must enjoy my selfe a while.
