Lillas Prayer.

LOve if thou wilt once more That I to thee returne, (Sweet God) make me not burn For quivering Age, that doth spent Daies deplore. Nor do thou wound my Heart For some unconstant Boy Who joyes to love, yet makes of Love a Toy. But (ah!) if I must prove thy golden Dart, Of grace, O let me find A sweet young Lover with an aged Mind. Thus Lilla pray'd, and Idas did reply, (Who heard) Deare have thy wish, for such am I.
