Amorea, The Lost Lover | ||
87
To his little Book.
Goe little Book, let Amorea knowWhat she doth owe
Unto thy Authour, and her dying Swain
Shew her disdain;
No, stay and take thy errand, let her see
'Tis cruell she
Hath brought her servant to a deep dispair,
By being fair.
But goe and do not fear to tell her, goe and show
That lovely foe,
By disoblieging him, and slighting thee,
Both are set free;
And if in reading thee, that killing Saint
Doth once relent;
Tell her it was her scornfull Tyrannie,
Hath set an end unto my love and thee.
