Masque of the Virtues against Love.

From Guarini.

[I.]

We the White Witches are, that free
Enchanted Hearts from Slavery,
Love's dark Abodes all tremble at our Voice,
And at the awful Noice,
All the blind Archers skud along,
And frighted to their Shady Myrtles throng.
We cloud the Sun that shines in Cælia's Eyes,
Hush the Winds swell'd by Lovers Sighs,
And stop their Tides of Tears even when they highest rise.
We by our Magicks guiltless Power,
Hearts long since Dead, to a New Life restore.

II.

All Love's black Arts, and fatal Wiles,
How he the heedless Wretch beguiles,
How in false Smiles the Face is dress'd,
And how false Pity heaves the Breast,
25

Circe's Spells, the Syrens Lays,
How one transforms, the other slays,
We open shew
To mortal View;
Come Love-sick Minds, see how the force of Charms
The Tyrant of his Rage disarms,
Yours be the Advantage all; for we
Claim nought but th'Honour of the Victory.
