To Celimena.
Forbear fond heart (say I) torment no moreThat Celimena whom thou dost adore,
For since so many of her Chains are proud,
How canst thou be distinguish'd in the crowd:
But say, bold trifler, what dost thou pretend?
Wouldst thou depose thy Saint into thy Friend?
Equality in friendship is requir'd,
Which here were criminal to be desir'd.
