O Ft have I sworn I'le love no more, but when I think on thee, I have no power to give ore thy Captive I must be: For so many sweets and graces dwells between thy lips and eyes, That whosoever looks on thee must needs be made a prize. Come gentle sweet, let our red lips meet, and haste unto the Ferry, That our Nuptial rite, may be with delight to make our senses merry. Sure thou hadst learnt some cunning Art, made by the God of F ire, Which doth not onely catch the heart, but captive their desire: For I have laboured to be free, this long seven years and more, But whensoe're I think on thee, I'me faster than before. Come gentle sweet, etc.
Thy glistring Comets are like charms and have inchanting spells, I snow no life but in thy arms, to live where Love now dwells, Thou art the keeper of my heart, and may to me restore, My love, my life, and liberty, as I have had before. Come gentle sweet, etc. What though I love in servitude, constrained so by Love, Alcides beauty once subdu'd, as Daphne conquered Jove ; I know no Medicine for my wound, but thy approved Art, Whose perfect skill and gifts profound can heal my love-sick heart. Come gentle sweet, let our red lips meet, and haste unto the Ferry, That our Nuptial rite, may be with delight to make our senses merry.
Then welcome sweet captivity, seeing there is no relief, Although I lose my liberty, I honour still the Thief, T hough from thy looks I ne're can have a cure for my pain; My comfort is, I once was lov'd and may be lov'd again; Come gentle sweet, let our red lips meet, and haste unto the Ferry, That our Nuptial rite, may be with delight to make our senses merry. What sugred melody is this so pleasant in my ear, Delicious Musick, Loves bliss, which I by chance to hear? O 'tis the voice of my True-love, complaining he's in thrall, T hy courteous suit I will approve, and make amends for all. Come gentle sweet, etc. Oft has my love repulsed been, his constancy to try, With perfect eye I now have seen, your love and loyalty: As thou are captiv'd in my breast, so thou has stoln from me, By Cupid 's aid I do protest, my life and liberty. Come gentle sweet, etc.
T hen see there's no obstructive thing our Loves to separate, As Birds do couple in the spring, so must we imitate; M y care shall be to shrowd thee still, I'le twine thee in mine arms, T hat none thy dearest blood shall spill, to work two Lovers harms: Come gentle sweet, etc. I'le be a Fortress to defend Hy Sweet-heart from his F oe, In midst of troubles I'e attend, and through all sorrows go: Water and Fire ne're shall cause a timerous fear in me; For I have sworn by Cupid 's Laws, thy faithful Love to be: Come gentle sweet, etc. Here is my life, my heart and hand, ingag'ed for thy sake, T o Love's first principles I'l e stand; and this fair promise make: W hilst I have breath, till dismal death I'le be bethroath'd to thee, T hat Lovers may, enjoy a day, of Peace and Unity. Come gentle sweet, let our red lips meet, and haste unto the Ferry, That our Nuptial rite, may be with delight to make our senses merry.
