W Hy should I complain, Since my sighs are in vain Ah! Cruel, too fair and unkind, Since thy Conquering eyes My heart did surprize No pleasure or comfort I find; But like one Forlorn, I Languish and mourn, And my days are all turn'd into night I am sorely opprest, And never was blest Since first thou appear'd in my sight.
Thus sighing with sobs, And my heart-killing throbs, My daily Companions must be, in the midst of my pain I all comforts disdain, My delight it is onely in thee: Cause my Love is intire, And I burn with desire, Must thou to thy Lover be strange, It can never be said That such a fair Maid Is constant, but subject to change.
For shame do not hide And let Cruelty bide Under such painted cheeks as thine own Since Nature is proud of what she allow'd, Then do not her favours dethrone To thee it was lent, Not for injury meant, To conquer the world in a trice, Or that which is worse, To make blessings a curse, And rob Men of their Paradise. Who will worship her brow That shows true Love vow, And triumphs o're poor loving man, Though the smiles of her face Her person doth grace, She's fickle, deny't if you can; Whose Beauty's inclin'd With some Man to be joyn'd, When melting in Love she did cry Tis a grief and a shame That in torment and Flame A Languishing Lover should dye.
Then Barr e'ry frown, And with smiles thy Love crown, Make him happy who happy would be Turn Darkness to Light, Whose poor Soul doth delight And finds comfort in nothing but thee;; Since a Heaven or Hell In her Bosome doth dwell, Each caus'd by a frown or a Smile,. Let him taste of a Kiss Which encreaseth his Bliss, While her frown doth his freedome beguile. Thy Lillys and Roses The whole World supposes, Were not lent thee poor souls to trappan For if it were so, All People would know That the worst of all creatures is man. Then bend not thy brow On the Amorist now, But let vertue with Beauty so shine, That all may desire To Burn with that Fire, That makes the whole Universe thine.
