YOu are so fair and cruel too, I am amaz'd what I shall do to purchase my desire, Sometimes your Eyes doth me invite, But when I enter you kill me quite, and the more increase my fire. Long I have lov'd, and am abus'd, And when I offer, I am refus'd, can any suffer more?
Be coy, be cruel, do your worst, Though for your sake I am accurst, I must and will adore. Was you as kind, as sweet and fair, No creature could with thee compare, to Love I am inclin'd; Yet will I understand and see, That you're resolv'd to to[r]ture me, O are you not unkind?
CAn you forget the Vow you made, When as in solemn sort you said, I was your chiefest joy? Yet now you will no favour show, But prove my final overthrow, and would my life destroy. Sometimes in Dreams I do behold Your Tresses like fair threads of Gold, likewise your Beauty bright; But when I waken from my rest, And find that I am dispossest, it proves my ruine quite. When first I did thy Beauty see, O then thou didst appear to be an Angel in my Eye; Like Lambs together we did play, But now thy heart is drawn away, tell me the reason why?
Was I not always just and true, [Pra]y let me here be try'd by you. then what may be the cause That you unworthily sake Your Love, and like a Tyrant break: the bonds of Cupids Laws. What grief of heart do I endure! 'Tis thee a[l]one can Kill or Cure, send me one gentle smile, Or else I through the world will range, For why my love can never change, O do not me revile. For sure I am, my love is true, Where e're I range i'le honour you; in sounding forth thy praise; If I may not enjoy the bliss, Bestow on me a parting kiss, i'le wander out my days. FINIS.
