QVest.

By what power was Love confin'd To one object? who can bind, Or fix a limit to the free-born mind?

An.

Nature; for as bodies may Move at once but in one way, So nor can minds to more than one love stray.

Reply.

Yet I feel double smart Loves twinn'd flame, his forked dart,

An.

Then hath wild Lust, not Love-possest thy heart.

Qu.

Whence springs love'

An.

From beauty.

Qu.

why Should th'effect not multiply As fast i'th'heart, as doth the cause i'th' eye?

An.

When two Beauties equall are, Sence preferring neither fayr, Desire stands still, distracted 'twixt the pair.

So in equall distance lay
Two farr Lambs in the Wolfe's way,
The hungry beast will sterve ere chuse his prey.

But where one is chief, the rest
Cease, and that's alone possest
Without a Rivall Monarch of the breast.
