On loving of two.

Ladies that you both may know,
What yo to your Servant owe,
I have both you adored,
And have both your loves implored.
If I did but set mine eye,
On the one, and th'other by;
I could nothing but admire,
Being corch'd with double fire.
Should I on Clariana look,
I doe open Beauties book,
Where such lessons I do find,
As they captivate my mind.
If I look upon the first,
Though she have been too too curst,
Yet I think new hopes of grace
Are in Amorea's face.
But that hope is soon defaced,
If Clariana will be pleased
To allow me in her sight,
Counting it my chief delight,
Amorea's love engageth,
And a war within me wageth,
Clariana's sweet affection,
Then must serve for my protection.
46

If Clariana should be ill,
I do all her sickness feel,
But for Amorea's trouble,
I consume into a bubble.
Should Clariana be but pleased,
All my sorrows are appeased;
Yet if Amorea mourn.
All my joyes to sorrow turn.
Those who Amorea've seen,
Say she is the Elizium Queen,
And that Clariana's face,
Only came from Phenix-race.
Scarce can I suppress the flames,
Sent by those adored Dames;
VVere it not their haughty scorn,
VVas to heavy to be born.
But now all is past and ended,
Had not Hymen me befriended,
I would never more have loved,
Had he not my mind disposed.
Saying if I chance to find
One that parallels the mind
Of these Ladies I have named,
She it is for me is framed.
