NO, no, poor soveraign heart, no change endeavour, Chuse to sustain the smart, rather then leave her; My ravisht eyes behold such charms about her, I can dye with her, but not live without her: One tender sigh from her, to see me languish, Will more then pay the price of my past anguish. Beware, oh cruel fair! how you smile on me, 'Twas a kind look of thine that has undone me.
(2) Love has in store, for me one happy minuit, And she must end my pain, that did begin it; Then so divine a bliss, and pleasures leaving, Ages will slide away without perceving: Cupid shall guard the door, the more to please her, And keep out time and death, when they would seize her; Time and death shall depart, and say, when flying, Love has found out away to live by dying. (3) Since none, none, but Caelia, can ever content me, It is none but you, that does torment me; For I have suffer'd much to give you quiet, My heart's your sacrifice, can you deny it: One tender glance from you, first made me languish, And now the same would do to ease my anguish; You are the only fair that I admire, And there is none but you that I desire.
(4) Oh! my fair Caelia, what is the occasion, That you do use me in this cruel fashon? First you pretend to love and never leave me, But I found presently you did deceive me; Sometimes you smile, but soon after frown on me, Betwixt your smiles and frowns you have undon me, Unless you pitty take and do releive me, And from my suffering you do reprieve me. (5) It was your beauty bright that did surprize me, Then do not me disdain I do advise ye; Cupid may take my part, and may torment you, Then for your cruelty you may repent you. Then do not tryumph o'er one with vain glory, When that you know I so much do adore ye, And will ne're leave ye, do what ye will to me, Tho' 'tis your cruelty that does undo me.
