On Loves deceitful Charmes.
[I]
I will not trust thy tempting graces,Nor thy deceitfull charms,
Nor pris'ner be to thy imbraces,
Or fetter'd in thine arms:
No Celia, no, not all thy art
Can wound or captivate my heart.
II
I will not gaze upon thine eyes,Nor wanton with thy haire,
Lest those should burn me by surprize,
Or these my soul insnare:
Nor with those smiling dangers play,
Or fool my liberty away.
III
Since then my weary heart is free,And unconfin'd as thine;
If thou would'st mine should captive be,
Thou must thine own resigne:
And Gratitude shall thus move more
Than Love or Beauty could before.
