Amorea, The Lost Lover | ||
To my dear friend on his Amorea
How many hours, nay daies, I may say yearsHow many sighs, and vows, bow many tears
Hast thou paid to the memorie of one
That (like the Phenix) vows to live alone.
Could I perswed thee, but i'me come to late
I will not make thee more unfortunate,
Suppose (Resuming of a second life)
That Amorea were to be thy wife
Thats all could make thee blest, yet she must die
And now she lives to perpetuity
R. M.
