〈♫〉〈♫〉ILe have no more dealings, fond Cupid, with thee; so much I'm a friend to my dear li╌ber╌tie: 'Twas passion for Beauty, that kindled my fire; but thanks be to reason that check'd my desire. My sighs and my fears, they were formerly spent for Love; I make use of them now to re╌pent: If e're by chance, I hear talk of black Eyes; I fall to my pray'rs, and the Ill spirit flyes.
There's none in the world madder than he,That loves his own dangers, and will not be free:I'le ne're be confin'd to the Devils black Rod,For serving in Love a fantastical God.Experience hath taught me the infallible Art,Of curbing my Eye-sight, to preserve my Heart:Where e're I encounter a Beaureous face,I bless my self! turn aside, and mend my pace.
Mr. Alph. Marsh, Junior.
