YOung Corridon whose stubborn heart no beauty e're could move, Would smile to hear of Cupid's dart, and scorn d the thoughts of love. Till Phillis came with charming Eye his heart for to invade, And conquer'd then aloud did cry, i'me now a vassall made. i'me now a vassall made. He view'd her well that won his heart, and cryed i'me now undone; Come Cupid the end my deadly smart or else my thred is spun. My life a burthen sure will prove except you ease my pain, For I am now compell'd to love what once I did disdain. what once. etc.
When I was free I laught at those, whome beauty did insnare, Now love so fast upon me grows that I must needs dispair. Except my Phillis prove so kind to answer my desire, To ease my discontented mind, and cool[e] my flaming fire. and coole. etc. He sigh'd and sigh'd and still complain'd that he could not endure, Those pangs of love that him so pain'd but must look out for cure. Oh whether shall I fly quoth he to find one hour of rest, Alass, alass, it cannot be i'me too too much opprest, i'me too. etc.
You that are free take my advise and scorn not Cupid's power, You little think that in a trice he can your joys devour. For I poor haples Corridon was in a minute lost, When my disdains I think upon Me thinks i'me justly Crost. Me thinks, etc. Never despise the god of love whose power I cant relate, Nor well express who can remove my cruel riged fate. Yet in my pain such ease I find that tickles my desire, And though my thoughts are now confind No help I now require. No help. etc. These links of love are pleasant Chains, that please the fetter'd man, And while he of his smart complains his pleasures then began, Oh Cupid gentle Cupid now let me no more be free. For unto thee I made a vow that shall not broken be, that shall, etc. Let Phillis feel a little touch, of my tormenting bow Or else poor I shall feel too much Oh let it not be so. But let her pain be much like mine then ile applaud thy name, And though I count her now divine do not my passion blame, do not, etc.
I now repent it not too late my sordid misconceit, For those that talk o'Lovers fate which I then call[']d deceit. Now i'le comply with and will lay that Cupids power is strong, Then Cupid send some help away Or else thou dost me wrong. Or else thou dost me wrong, When Phillis she invited me by favour to be kind, I slighted her she then did see how can she now be kind. My Rhetorick will prove in vain if I an offer make, To ask her now to ease my pain, And then my heart will break. And then my heart will break. It is but reason if I dye of this bewitch'd disease. That Phillis should triumphantly write such like lines as these. There goes the stubborn hearted soul that once did love despise, And Cupids power he would controul See now for love he dyes, See now. etc. Unpittied then unto the Grave, my Carkasse they will take, Yet one poor smile my life can save then pitty now awake. And never let my former crimes meet with such sharp reward, Because I did so many times Great Cupid disregard, great Cupid. etc.
