The Dampe.
WHen I am dead, and Doctors know not why,And my friends curiositieWill have me cut up to survay each part,When they shall finde your Picture in my heart,You thinke a sodaine dampe of loveWill through all their senses move,And worke on them as mee, and so preferreYour murder, to the name of Massacre.
descriptionPage 291
Poore victories; But if you dare be brave,And pleasure in your conquest have,First kill th'enormous Gyant, your Disdaine,And let th'enchantresse Honor, next be slaine,And like a Goth and Vandall rize,Deface Records, and HistoriesOf your owne arts and triumphs over men,And without such advantage kill me then.
For I could muster up as well as youMy Gyants, and my Witches too,Which are vast Constancy, and Secretnesse,But these I neyther looke for, nor professe,Kill mee as Woman, let mee dieAs a meere man; doe you but tryYour passive valor, and you shall finde than,In that you'have odds enough of any man.
