SInce Celias my Foe, To a Desart Ile go, Where some River for ever shall eccho my Wo! The Trees will appear More relenting than her, In the morning, adorning, each Leaf with a tear. When I make my sad moan, To the Rocks all alone, From each hollow Will follow some pittiful groan: But with silent disdain, She requites all my pain: To my mourning, returning, no answer again.
O why was I born, To a Fate so forlorn, To inherit, Not merit her anger, or scorn: My affection is such, As no blemish can touch, Yet im slighted, and spighted for loving too much. Perhaps coud I prove, More unjust to my love, I might find her, yet kinder, and pitty might move, But ile chuse to obey, Tho I dye by the way; Yet tis better, Than get her, by going astray.
THen why shoud you sty, My fair Celia? O why? When to please ye tis easie, for Amintas to dye. If your Lover youd shun, You no danger shall run, Him you banish will vanish, And from you be gone. Stay Celia unkind, Will you leave me behind, Let me enter, and venture my self with the Wind. Ah! from me will you part, Who so love your desert? Either tarry, Or carry your slave with his heart. Were you but secure, Ide your absence endure, Were all danger a stranger to Virgins so pure: But some insolent wave, May your merit out-brave, Both regardless, and careless What vertues you have.
Yet Storms shall not dare, To assault one so fair, To attend you ile send you, sighs softer than air: The Nymphs of the Deep, My dear Celia shall keep, On a Pillow, each Billow Shall lull you asleep. The Seas they shall dance, And the Winds shall advance, With your Gally To dally, and guide you to France; While I from the Shore, My fair Idol adore; Till that Neptune your Captain, Hath wafted you ore. Then Celia adieu, When I cease to pursue, Youl discover No Lover was ever so true, Your sad Shepherd flies From those dear cruel eyes, Which not seeing his being, Decays and he dies.
Yet tis better to run To the fates we cant shun, Then for ever Tendeavor what cannot be won: What ye Gods have I done That Amintor alone, Is thus treated, and hated for loving but one? And thus I complain, Tho tis all but in vain, Yet the trouble is double, to stifle my pain: The Sea or the Shore, I as well might implore; Theyr as moving, and loving as her I adore. Then since tis the fate Of my wretched estate, Without pitty, Tis fit I submit to her hate. For as Winter comes on When Apollo is gone, So declining, and pining, She leaves me alone.
