NOt but thy Beauty may Command,
an Hoast of armed Cupids rise,
Each with his flaming Dart in hand
ta'ne from the Storehouse of thy eyes.

And having vigour gain'd from thence
may with huge Courage, Sword and Flame
Lay Seige to beat down my Defence,
inchanted by Ostella's Name.

But when they think my faith to shake,
and all their force and strength do try,

They'l find it difficult, to take a Brest so Mann'd with Constancy,
