Secresie protested.

FEar not (dear Love) that I'l reveal
Those houres of pleasure we two steal;
No eye shall see, nor yet the Sun
Descry, what thou and I have done;
No ear shall hear our love, but wee
Silent as the night will be;
The God of love himself (whose dart
Did first wound mine, and then thy heart)
Shall never know, that we can tell,
What sweets in stoln embraces dwell:
This only meanes may find it out,
If when I dy, Physicians doubt
What caus'd my death, and there to view
Of all their judgements which was true'
Rip up my heart, O then I fear
The world will see thy picture there.
