Love Enlightned.
[I]
Welcom my heart, thou'st fondly stray'dTo find content in Widdow, Maid,
Or Woman-kind; whose wind-like change,
Now courteous, now perverse, and change
Their Loves designe, their Heat's a Fire
That ne'r decays, but still flames higher.
II
Their Business Pride, their Beauties shapeA Looking-glasse for th'amorous Ape
To spend himselfe, and Hours therein;
Their Court-ships, Garbes, but Fraud and Sin:
Say, say my Heart, Hast not this found,
And that there very Kisses wound?
III
Yes, yes, my Brest thence (taught) I flyBack from that Syrian Company;
Who not lov'd, hate; if lov'd, despise;
If had, insult and tyranize:
Therefore I add, Blest is his Lot,
That will not know, and loves them not.
