301
Suspirium ad Amorem
O loveCome prove
Thy Dart
On Me;
And deigne
To gaine
My Hart
To Thee!
Thy Dart
Can part
A Breast
Of Stone;
O why
Must my
Resist
Alone?
The Flint
That's in't
Will rive
When Thou
Vouchaf'st
A Shaft
To give
The Blow.
302
And live
And show
Some spark
To light
My Night
Whoe now
Am dark.
Then I
Shall spy
The door
And Way
To Thee,
And be
No more
Astray.
