NOw the Tyrant hath stolen my dearest away; And I am confined with Mopsa to stay: Yet let Celia remember how faithful i'le be, Neither distance nor absence shall terrifie me. In Volumns of sighs, I will send to my Dear, And make my own heart correspond to my fear: Till the Soul of my life may be pleased to see, How delightful her safest return is to me. It cheers my sad heart to remember her love, Though malice hath caused this sudden remove: And my mind is resolved whatever ensue, Whether Sunshine or thunder, to be constant and true.
If my Bark sail but safely through this rugged Sea, Though with contrary Wind, much tossed it be: In the Haven of rest, and long lookt for content, Ile chaunt forth melodious Songs of merriment. Till then i'le retreat to the Forrest and mourn; Acteon shall eccho my Hound and my Horn. No Reynard shall escape me that runs on the way, But patience perforce I will make him to stay. My heart hath enquired of every Stone, What convoy the Heavens hath bequeath'd to my moan: But for ought I can find, holy Angels are agreed, To rival my hopes, and to slacken her speed.
THerefore i'le sit down, and bewail my sad Fate, Like the Turtle i'le mourn for the loss of my mate: All the worlds greatest glories vexation to me, Till my Celia and I, in our loves may be free. Celia her sweet Reply to her faithful friend. THy speeches dear friend I have well understood, And how in exile thou hast wandred at the wood But I am resolved thy sorrows to free, To make thee amends, i'le soon come unto thee. 'Tis neither the Tyger, the Wolf, nor the Bear, Nor shall Nylus Crocodile put me in fear: Ile swim through the Ocean upon my bare Breast, To find out my Darling, whom I do love best.
And when I have found him, with double delight, Ile comfort him kindly by day and by night: And i'le be more faithful then the Turtle-Dove, Which never at all did prove false to her Love. The fierce Basilisks that kills with the eye, Shall not have the power once thee to come nigh: Ile clip thee and hug thee so close in my arms, And i'le venture my life for to save thee from harms. My Lap for thy head love, a Pillow shall be, And whilst thou dost sleep, i'le be careful of thee: Ile wake, and i'le watch, and i'le kiss thee for joy, And no Venomous Creature shall my Love annoy. The Satyrs shall Pipe, and the Syrens shall sing, The wood-nimphs with musick shall make the Groves ring: The Horn it shall sound,
and the Hounds make a noise, To recreate my Love with ten thousand rare joys. So now I am comming to hasten the deed, Pray Heaven and Gods Angels to be my good speed: If fortune me favour, and Seas quiet prove, I soon will arrive at the Port which I love. Now Celia is gone to find out her Dear, His Heart that was sad to comfort and cheer: No doubt but each other they will lovingly greet, When as they together do lovingly meet.
