For I am starv'd that feet the blissrs
Of dear embraces, smiles, and kisses
From my soul's Idoll, yet complain
Of equall love more than disdain.
Cease, Beauties exile to lament
The frozen shades of hanishment,
For I in that fair bosome dwell
That is my Paradise, and Hell;
Banisht at home, at once at ease
In the safe Port, and lost on Seas.
Cease in cold jealous seares to pine
Sad wretch, whom Rivals undermine:
For though I hold lock'd in mine arms
My lifes sole joy, a Traytors Charms
Prevail, whilst I may only blame
My self, that mine owne Rivall am.
