Lycidus
Behn, Aphra (1640-1689)
[section]
[dedication]
To Mrs. B. on her Poems.
LYCIDUS:
[A Constancy in Love I'll prise]
[A thousand Martyrs I have made]
[Poor Lycidus for shame arise]
[Ah, cruel Love! when will thy Torments cease?]
['Twas there, I saw my Rival take]
[Why shou'd that faithless wanton give]
[Farewel, my little charming Boy!]
[That Coxcomb can ne're be at ease]
[Not to sigh and to be tender]
[Let Love no more your Heart inspire]
[The God of Love beholding every day]
[Cease to defend your Amorous Heart]
[When you Love, or speak of it]
[When to the charming Bellinda I came]
[Why, fair Maid, are you uneasy]
[Oh! what Pleasure 'tis to find]
[He that wou'd precious time improve]
[Cease, cease, that vain and useless scorn]
[A Lovers Rage and Jealousie]
[Oh! how soft it is to see]
[Thô my Heart were full of Passion]
[When Love shall two fair objects mix]
[Fly, Lysidus, this hated Place]
[Oh! fond remembrance! do not bring]
[All you Beauties and Attractions]

[That Coxcomb can ne're be at ease]
That Coxcomb can ne're be at ease,
While Beauty inslaves his Soul.
'Tis Liberty only can please,
And he that's Fetter'd is an Owl.
Lycidus
