I. SEe yonder she Swims and calls, Love, and fain would be on Shore; She's one of the fairest Faces that e're I beheld before: And I prithee my Dear, call home thy heart, and hear thy true Lovers Charms, For the Phoenix shall be our Guide, Love, and protect us from all harms. II. A Ship it cannot be Built, Love, without the help of Tree; And the very Flint Stones shall melt, Love, and if I prove false to thee: If I prove false to thee, my Dear, the Rocks shall melt in the Sun; And the Fire shall Freeze like Ice, Love, and the Sea shall Raging Burn. III. Then fear neither Wind nor Weather, but venture thy self with me; When ever we Sail together, young Cupid alone, shall be Our Pilot, to Guide and Steer us from turbulent Storms, my Dear: No Danger can e're come near us, all shall be Serene and Clear. IV. When first I beheld thy Beauty, it wounded me to the heart, So that I was bound in Duty, to love thee for thy Desert: Then be neither Coy nor Cruel, for why, it is in thy will, My Amorous Charming Jewel, this minute to Save or Kill.
V. Be kind to thy dear pretender, and do not the least Revile, I readily will surrender my heart, for one gentle Smile: Thy Love is as great a Blessing as ever I would enjoy, The which if I was possessing, my sorrows it would destroy. VI. Like innocent Lambs, in pleasure, our minutes of Love we'll spend; I value not Worldly Treasure, for that I will ne'r contend: True Love I alone admire, and do thy sweet Charms adore; Then grant me my hearts desire, and Love, I will ask no more. VII. Among the delightful Bowers, where Flora her Mantle spreads, With changeable fragrant Flowers, rich Garlands do Crown our Heads, The Lillies, my Dear, shall make us: and thus we will live in Love, True Pleasure can ne'r forsake us, so long as we Loyal prove. VIII. Sweet Creature, thou may'st believe me, I love thee more dear than Gold, Why should'st thou delight to grieve me? fair Beautiful Saint, behold! I'll study for thy Promotion, my heart is to Love inclin'd; And will be at thy Devotion, sweet Creature, be not unkind.
