AMintas loved Cloris that fair one, And Cloris lov'd Amintas, though unknown, Which made her cry to Cupid oft for aid, Help Cupid, help, a poor distressed Maid. Why should the God of Love deal thus with me? To give a wound, a wound, that cannot cured be. Have I a tongue and yet I dare not speak? Have I a heart and yet it will not break? Have I a hand and yet I dare not Write, To him that is my love and hearts delight? Why should, etc. Men they may speak, but Maidens modesty, Forbids the same, O cruel Destiny, How should the secrets of our hearts be known, When by our words we dare not make it known. Why should, etc.
I find my eyes too soon deceive my heart, There is no balsome that can cure my smart, But the sweet countenance of my dearest friend May crown my joys, & bring my grief to end. Why should, etc. Now happy are they, that ne'r receiv'd a wound Nor yet hath been in Cupid's Pound? How happy are they, that nothing can remove, That never felt the power, or force of Love? why should, etc. Why do I live to see this dismal day, I may not speak, nor yet for pitty pray, I may not speak, nor make my grievance known, Or yet to any can I make my moan? Why should the God of Love thus deal with me, to give a wound, a wound, that cannot cured be.
<seg n="1" rend="left"><hi rend="italic">The Second Part, to the same Tune.</hi></seg>
AENeas with Queen Dido play'd the thief, He stole her heart, and left her full of grief, But my Amintas little knows that I Do love him now with true fidelity. Why should the God of Love thus deal with me, To give a wound, a wound, that cannot cured be. Tell him you wandring Spirits in the Air, Where I remain, whom he esteems so dear: Let him not pine nor languish thus for me, Cloris; Cloris, Amintas loveth thee. Why should, etc. Farewel my Flock, for she that's thus unsure, And led away with every look and lure, What care can she have of her tender sheep, When as her self she can no better keep? Why should, etc.
Now must I wander over Hills and Rocks, To find Amintas, and forsake my Flocks: Farewel content and farewel liberty, Cloris is now in pain but cannot dye. Why should, etc. Bashful Amintas thou hast known my heart, Why dost not thou thy mind to me impart? Tell him you wandring Spirits of the Air, Had he done so I would have eas'd his care, Why should, etc. Amintas comes and hearing her say so, Quickly stept in, and eas'd her of her woe, Thus love you see can ever find the way, To make young men and pretty Lasses obey. Now Cloris thou canst not Cupid blame, He gave a wound, and salve to cure the same.
