SONG
I ask not my Celia would love me again,
In its own Pleasure my Love is o're-paid;
I'll find such Excuses for all her Disdain,
That shortly to Frown I'll make her afraid.
In its own Pleasure my Love is o're-paid;
I'll find such Excuses for all her Disdain,
That shortly to Frown I'll make her afraid.
23
Her Neglect of me, of her self I'll think Care;
Her Cruelty I her strict Vertue will name;
When least kind she seems, I'll believe her most near,
And call her Refusal, but a Virgin's Shame.
Her Cruelty I her strict Vertue will name;
When least kind she seems, I'll believe her most near,
And call her Refusal, but a Virgin's Shame.
Thus all that was wont hertofore to cure Love
In me shall increase, and stir up the Fire;
I'll make her at last some kind Remedy prove,
Since all others but increase my Desire.
In me shall increase, and stir up the Fire;
I'll make her at last some kind Remedy prove,
Since all others but increase my Desire.
