The Denial:

HOld, hold; my dear Destroyer, hold; I do confess I was too bold: My violent Passion rais'd so high, That, in the mighty Transport, I, Feeling my troubled Breast so full, Let my tongue speak the language of my Soul.
Stop, dearest, stop that fatal breath; Presaging Omens bode my Death: Tho I would give my Life to hear That charming voice which now I fear; As Criminals expect their doom. I wish to know, but dread the Fate to come.
