SONG.
I Ask not my Celia would love me again,In its own pleasure my love is pay'd;I'le find such excuses for all her disdain,That shortly to frown I'le make her afraid.
Her neglect of me, of her self I'le think care;Her cruelty, I her strict Vertue will name;When least kind she seems, I'le believ her most nearAnd call her refusal, but a Virgins Fame.
descriptionPage 98
Thus all that was wont heretofore to cure love,In me shall increase, and stir up the fire;I'le make her at last some kind remedy prove,Since all others but increase my desire.
Whil'st no man enjoyes that which I court in vain,And Celia to none is kinder then me;To 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Honour I'le yield, and never complain,But dy•• at her feet, if so it decree.
