My love, I long to see thy face, Oh! come to me! I will imbrace Thy sweet bosome; let not me * 2.1 For want of thy sweet company Lye dipt in teares, is love growne cold? Or have those six dayes made thee old? Or has thy peevish brawling wife Made thee refrain so sweet a life? Be not dismaid! when fortune brings Me gold, with other gallant things, 'Tis all thine owne, to come make hast, And then the winter will be past. With all conditions, I can fit To humour thee, and heare thy wit: Thy absence makes my heart opprest Which lives in thine, and so I rest,Thy friend or not for this world, H. E.
From my lodging in Lukeners-lane.
His Answer.
Though I was foolish, mad, and vain, To sell away my heart,
Page 24
To buy a never-dying staine And cheapen lasting smart;By thy temptations, I was drawne To fall in love with sin, To lay my soule, my life to pawne * 3.1 To fetch new torments in.I now renounce my former deeds, And what I lov'd before I hate it; bitter griefe exceeds; Teares wash them off the score.Vaine is thy suit, repent and turne, Thy former waies amend, Least wrath in thee doth ever burne, Where cursed pleasures end:Thine once, but now his owne.
From Princes street.
