Love Reveng'd, A Song.
I.
CElinda who did Love Disdain,For whom had languisht many a Swain;Leading her Bleating Flock to drink,She spy'd upon the Rivers BrinkA Youth, whose Eyes did well declare,How much he lov'd, but lov'd not her.
II.
At first she Laught, but gaz'd the while,And soon she lessen'd to a Smile;Thence to Surprize and Wonder came,Her Breast to heave, her Heart to flame:Then cry'd she out, Now, now I prove,Thou art a God, Almighty Love.
III.
She would have spoke, but shame deny'd,And bid her first consult her Pride;
descriptionPage 123
But soon she found that Aid was gone;For Love alas had left her none:Oh how she burns, but 'tis too late,For in her Eyes she reads her Fate.
