Loves Courtship.
KIss lovely Celia and be kind,
Let my desires freedom find,
Sit there down
And we will make the Gods confess
Mortals enjoy some happiness.
Mars would disain his Mistris charms,
If he beheld thee in my arms,
And descend.

Thee his mortall Queen to make,
Or live as mortal for thy sake.
Venus must lose her title now,
And leave to brag of Cupid's bow;
Silly Queen,
Sweet hath but one, but I can spy,
Ten thousand Cupids in thy ey.
Nor may the Sun behold our bliss,
For sure thy eies do dazle his.
If thou fear.
That hell betray thee with his light,
Let me ecclipse thee from his sight.
And while I shade thee from his ey,
Oh let me hear thee gently cry,
Celia yeelds.
Maids often lose their Maiden-head,
Ere they set foot in Nuptial bed.
