My dearest dear could I relate the sorrows of my heart, Thou wouldst condemn my cruel fate, and ease me of my smart; But since my tongue cannot express the torments that I feel, In silence and in heaviness my passion I conceal. Ah Celia let my secret groans approach unto thine ear, And pitty him that still bemoanes his death now drawing near:
Except from thee I pitty find, no hopes there is for me, And if thou dost not prove more kind, more wretched I must be. Would I had never seen thine eyes, or heard thy charming tongue, Which both together me surprize, and do me so much wrong, That now my life a burthen seems, and tiresome is to me, For by my Loves fantastick dreams I work my misery.
Oh wretched and unhappy man, how am I now betraid, And still must be, do what I can, obedient to the maid, Whose beauty works my overthrow, and fills my heart with pain; how blest were I could I but know the way to break my chain. Then fair one pray thee do thy worst, And end this mortal strife, For certain I am not the first, If I do lose my life For beauty's sake, as now I am like, By thine all conquering eye; O then make hast to one home blow strike And end my misery. What ailes my love for to complain of my severity? Am I the cause of all thy pain, tell me the reason why? No Damon no, thou art to blame thy true-love to abuse, For didst thou feel my scorching flame, such words thou wouldst not use. I love thee as I love my heart, and so shall ever do; I'de rather dye than from thee part, my passion is so true:
And if thou couldst me once perswade I caus'd thy grief or pain, Twould surely kill a love-sick maid, 'gainst whom thou dost complain. But I'me so far from slighting thee, I thee most dearly prize, And dearly I delight in thee; then learn to be more wise, And blame not her unconstancy who thee doth dearly love, And vows to be as true as thee as e're was Turtle Dove. When Damon heard these words so kind, his heart did leap for joy, It pleased his tormented mind, that Celia was not coy; He thankfull was to Cupid then, that with his golden dart, wherewith he us'd to wound poor men, he pierc'd the females heart. Thus hand in hand away they went, with many a loving smile, They both did seem to be content, and in a little while The Marriage Rites did celebrate, and tye that gordian knot, Which none could loose but mortal fate or cause to be forgot.
