E'Er since I saw Clorinda's Eyes, My Heart has felt a strange surprize, No Pen is able to reveal The killing Torment which I feel; Yet I dare not let her know it, 'Cause she's Rich and I am Poor; No Charms above her, oh! I love her, and will do for evermore.
When as her Presence I draw near, She like an Angel doth appear; No sooner I her Charms beheld But I was with Love Raptures fill'd, As a while I did stand gazing, My soft Heart was wounded sore, No Charm above her, oh! I love her, And will do for evermore.
Oh! that I might let her know My Sighs, my Tears, my Care and Woe, And how I'm tortured for her sake, She might some kind of pity take; But I fear I should offend her Whom I dearly do adore; No Charms above her, oh! I love her, And will do for evermore. Both Sense and Reason tells me plain, That I bestowed my heart in vain, Where no acceptance will be found, No Balsom for this bleeding Wound: She's a fair and youthfull Lady, I a Servant mean and poor; No Charms above her, etc. I value not her Gold, her Pearl, For was I either Lord or Earl[,] My very Heart would be the same, I raise her everlasting Fame; Yet in vain are all my Wishes, They will not my Joys restore; No Charms above her, etc.
Young Cupid bend thy Golden Bow, And let thy silver Arrows flye, That my fair charming Saint may know The pains of Love as well as I; Tell her too, that I lye wounded, She may then my Joys restore, No Charms above her, etc. Tho' now mine Eyes like Rivers run, As here in Sorrows I condole; Her Beauty like the Rising Sun, Can soon revive my drooping Soul, But if I may ne'er Enjoy her, Let me with a Dart be slain, 'Tis better kill me, then to fill me With this Love tormenting pain.
