Sede d' Amore.
Madrigal. From Cavalier Guarini.
Tell me Cupid, where's thy Nest,
In Clora's Eyes, or in my Breast?
When I do behold her Rays,
I conclude it in her Face:
But when I consider how
They both wound, and burn me too,
I conclude then by my smart,
Thou inhabits in my Heart.
In Clora's Eyes, or in my Breast?
When I do behold her Rays,
I conclude it in her Face:
But when I consider how
They both wound, and burn me too,
I conclude then by my smart,
Thou inhabits in my Heart.
638
Mighty Love, to shew thy Power,
Though it be but for an Hour,
Let me beg without Offence,
Thou wilt shift thy Residence,
And erect thy self a Nest,
In my Eyes, and in her Breast.
Though it be but for an Hour,
Let me beg without Offence,
Thou wilt shift thy Residence,
And erect thy self a Nest,
In my Eyes, and in her Breast.
