Loves Passion.
[I]
What will become of me? I'm allChang'd to a weeping Hospital;
My Tongue (which once could speak)
Can say, nothing but Celia:
And Cupid too hath made me blind,
Lest I my stolen Heart should find;
Thus main'd before her do I lie,
Without a Tongue, a Heart, or Eye.
II
But see the Miracle, She's kind,And doth my fettered Tongue unbind;
The Sun-shine of her Smile doth quite
Dispell the Meteors in my Sight;
And in an instant I recover
Heart enough to serve a Lover:
Thus when She list, She can recall
My Tongue, my Eyes, my Heart and all.
III
Then (Dearest Cælia) let me payRent-kisses to thee every day;
They are Loves Peppercorns, and shew
I'm Tenant of my self to you;
Your Favour only must confirm
My Title, and enlarge my Term:
'Twill me a vast Subsistance give,
And you the Honour that I live.
