I. FOnd Boy what dost thou mean, thus my Heart to sur-prize; And make me love another whilst my Celia dies? My Celia is fair, and my Heart doth retain; But Oh, when I see Amintor, I'm ravish'd again. Then shoot thy Kind Dart, let thy Heart be my Prize: I'll intreat the kind Gods for to open my Eyes. II. Dear Celia! oh then, Why so cruel to me? When I that was always so Just unto thee: How happy were I, that I could but obtain One Smile of my own dear Celia again: I will never forsake him as long as I live, Whatever in Love he do's want I will give. III. Amintor is kind, and likewise is fair; But none in the World can with Celia compare: If his Love it were true, and that I might find That forever, forever, to me he'd be kind, I'd freely enjoy my Dear in my Arms, And keep him secure from all other Harms.
IV. Why should I prove false to him that I love, For another to me he Unconstant may prove: My Celia has Charms which I do adore; If he'll be but kind, I desire no more: For to ramble in Love I do not admire, If I have my dear Celia 'tis all I desire. His ANSWER. DEar Cynthia! ne'er fear, my Love shall be true There's none in the World that I love now but [you] Then do not despair in your true Love no more For 'tis you my dear Cynthia that I must adore: I did but to try whether loyal you'd be, But I never, no never will prove false to thee. II. I always was Just to the Promise I made, Though you my dear Cynthia was ever afraid: My Heart it was struck when I heard thee Complai[n] Oh my Celia! my Celia! he does me disdain: I did but to try whether loyal you'd be, But I never, no never will prove false to thee.
