(1) BY all the Powers, I love you so, Nothing more dear to me below; For when your Frowns I would forsake, Some Angel comes and calls me back; Orders my heart not so full of Ease, But you may break it when ever you please: For it is Noble, and would rather dare To dye, then to Languish in Dispair: Then do not strive thus my poor heart for to break But grant me Life, and lengthen my Days, That I may live for to set forth thy praise: Come my dear Soul, come my dear Soul, Let thee and I, thee and I, now for ever be United, United in Love; For I am certain that it will be pleasing unto the Powers above. (2) Don't Swear by all the Powers you Love, Least you thereby should Perjur'd prove; For some has said as much as this, Untill they have obtain'd the Bliss; Then with much Scorn and cruel Disdain, Such Lovers are left to Sigh and Complaint. But this I tell you shall ne'r be my Fate, And therefore talk not at such a rate; I won't, I declare, be catcht in a Snare; For my delight is freedom of Mind, it's far more pleasant than to be confin'd: Glory I can, Glory I can, Value not Man, value not Man, whose pleasing words can deceive, can deceive the Wise, If that they take not special Care, by their soft and Refined Lyes.
(3) Sweet Charming Saint my words are true, I needs must Love, yet none but you, And if I may thy favour Gain, Then like a Rock I will remain; Loyal to what I here do pretend, Or let my Glory be soon at an end, For let me not live no longer then I Am willing to honour true Constancy; Then Dearest try me, this promise I make, That if thou wouldst my blessings Restore, Then none but thee I e'er will adore, Raptures of Love, Raptures of Love, Doth me ingage, so that I swear, I ever will be Loyal, Loyal Just and true, Against Controul I do declare, I ne'er was nor will be false to you. (4) If this be Loyal which you say, The Laws of Love I must obey; No more resistance can I make, Both Hand and Heart here freely take, No one but thee my love shall enjoy, Tho' I deny'd thee I now am not Coy, But will afford thee those glances, my Dear, That shall make thy joys and blessings appear: Then at these sayings the Gallant Reply'd, Farewell my grief, for now I have found Sorrows are ended and blessings abound: Hear in my Arms, hear in my Arms, Saint let me find, now let me find, Those Fountains flow with pleasant streams of love, The which may crown our days with Joy, With many blessings from above.
