T Here is one black and sullen Hour, which Fate Decrees our Lives should know; Else we should slight Almighty Power, wrap'd with the Joys we find below; 'Tis past, dear Cynthia , now let Frowns be gone, a long long Pennance I have done, a long long Pennance I have done, For Crimes, to me, alas unknown, for Crimes, to me, alas unkown .
In each soft Hour of silent Night, your Image in my Dream appears; I grasp the Soul of my Delight, slumber in Joy, but wak'd in Tears: Ah, faithless Charming Saint, what will you do, let me not think I am by you, let me not think I am by you , Lov'd less, lov'd less, for being true, lov'd less, lov'd less, for being true .
B efore dear Cynthia , I beheld thy charming face, my heart was free, From love, and knew not how to yield to any beauty but to thee: Bright as the Sun that in the East doth rise, Did force me by a sweet surprize, did force me by a sweet surprize , To yield the conquest to your eyes. to yield the conquest to your eyes . One pleasing Smile, my charming fair, my Love-sick heart with joy to fill; Thy pierceing Frowns breeds my Dispair, Oh! let those Eyes that Wound, not kill: Since by a Smile my heart you did Inspire, And cre-a-ted in it a Fire, and cre-a-ted, etc. That never, never can Expire, that never, never can Expire . No longer then thus Tyrannize, but all your cruelty give or'e; And not a heart to true dispise, that will for ever you adore: Ah! Charming Nymph , grant love, for love again Do not by Frowns create my Pain; do not by Frowns, etc. Nor Torture me by your disdain: nor Torture, etc. What is my Crime, dear Cynthia , that my punishment is so severe? Tell me that I may Expiate my Crime, by a Repenting Tear; Forbear by Cruelty to torture me, I offer you a Heart that's free, I offer you, etc. From falce deceit and flattery? from falce Deceit, etc. Oh! why you powers did you frame her heart so hard and face so fair? Her face did first my heart inflame, her cruelty breeds my dispair: Make her more kind, you powers then I crave That she my cure the wounds she gave, that she may cure the wounds she gave ; Or send me to my wish't for Grave, Or send me to my wish't for Grave .
